Thirty five patients (33 women, 2 men) age 26–67 who had calcifications in the thyroid gland in a result of ultrasound examination, the levels of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D and microliters (Ca++, Mg++ and Phosphorus) have been determined as well. The level of 25(OH) in the studied groups were significantly reduced and was within the following range; 14 ± 7 ng/ml. Twenty five patients had hyperparathyroidism, which indicated an increased functional state of the parathyroid gland, and 14 patients had the upper limits of the requirement norm (55 + = 5). Changes in electrolyte metabolism were not determined among examined patients. The possible increased activity of the Parathyroid glands on the background of a low content of 25(OH) is the cause of calcifications in the thyroid gland.
