Elsa is an 11-month-old girl. Her parents have brought her to her pediatrician because they have noticed she seems lethargic and pale. Both parents have noticed that she appears bloated, doesn’t want to eat as much as she has before, and is tired and “cranky all the time.” They suspected she might be suffering from anemia, since she was being fed a low-iron formula, so they had switched to a high-iron formula. The change made no difference in her symptoms. The pediatrician notes that Elsa’s belly appears swollen. Her vital signs show that her temperature is normal and her heart rate is on the low end of the normal range for her age. She has dropped from the 50th percentile in height and weight (at her last check-up) to the 10th percentile in both height and weight.
Blood test results:
Hemoglobin: 5 g/dl
RBC: 4.6x106 cells/ml
MCV: 65
WBC: 18,000 cells/microliter
Platelet count: 250,000

Paleness…arrow_forwardYour patient is a 2-year-old male named Justin. He is suffering from hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), weakness and growth failure, and is unable to walk. His mother has just brought him into the emergency room from the family beach house, where they have been spending the summer, because he has had a seizure. X-rays indicate that the toddler is suffering from rickets, which is a result of a nutritional deficiency of Vitamin D. But his mother insists that her son’s diet is not Vitamin D-deficient. He drinks three glasses of milk a day, and his diet also includes meat and eggs. A simplified scheme of Vitamin D metabolism is shown to the left. The chemical name of active Vitamin D is 1α, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, and it is synthesized via the pathway shown. Catalysts, both in the form of enzymes and ultraviolet light, are required for Vitamin D synthesis. The two main sources of active Vitamin D are diet and sunlight. Food supplemented with “Vitamin D” usually contains…arrow_forward
