Background: β-thalassemia is associated with increased iron overload in endocrine tissues, including parathyroid glands. The occurrence of unbalanced calcium (Ca)-phosphorous (P) metabolism, such as chronic HPT, is higher in these patients compared to the general population. However, data about prevalence and presentation of HPT in this setting are scanty.Aim: To explore the biochemical characteristics of Ca-P metabolism, particularly the prevalence...

Introduction: Despite normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) serum levels, 10% of hypothyroid patients treated with LT4 complain of hypothyroidism symptoms, likely linked to decreased availability of free triiodothyronine (fT3). Thus, combined levothyroxine/liothyronine (LT4/lT3) therapy was suggested to ensure a more physiological balance in peripheral tissues.Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of combined LT4/lT3 therapy in thyroidectomized subjects,...
