Serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) were subnormal at 125 pg/mL and 8.1 ng/mL, respectively. As a result of these findings, serum 25-OHD and PTH levels were measured in an additional 12 patients with thalassemia major. Low levels of both 25-OHD and PTH were found frequently. An increase in serum 25-OHD levels was noted in each of four patients who were examined after iron chelation therapy. (Arch Intern Med 1982;142:831-832) References 1.
