ANS: C
Hypocalcemia is accelerated by impaired renal synthesis of 1,25 - dihydroxy-vitamin D3. The combined effect of vitamin D deficiency can result in renal osteodystrophies with increased risk for fractures. Calcium is not lost in the urine. Osteoblast activity is not accelerated. Antibodies do not develop.
