How do the following laboratory values typically change in patients with osteomalacia?

Calcium: {{c1::decreased or normal}}

Phosphate: {{c1::decreased}}

Alkaline phosphatase: {{c1::increased}}

Extra

- defect in mineralization caused by low vitamin D.

- Ca²⁺ levels may normalize due to secondary hyperparathyroidism

- malabsorption due to celiac leads to vitamin D deficiency

- low calcium and phosphorus uptake leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism, which increases calcium absorption in bone and kidney, causing high alkaline phosphatase and normal calcium but lowered phosphate.
