Abstract | INTRODUCTION: SUBJECTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: BMD of both patients was within the normal range for age and sex; z-scores were -0.55 and -0.23 for patients 1 and 2 respectively. Serum calcium, phosphate, urine Ca/Cr ratio, and specific markers of bone metabolism were also within normal range. CONCLUSION: In childhood, chronic extremely low TSH levels, in the face of normal thyroid hormone levels, are not related to bone loss.
