ABSTRACT. Recently an adult patient with myxedema and hypercalcemia was observed to become normocalcemic when rendered euthyroid. This experience prompted a study of the effect of oral administration of calcium to hypothyroid patients and animals. Eleven patients with hypothyroidism, all of whom were normocalcemic, were given 30 ml of 40 % calcium ...
