What is the normal range of Parathyroid Hormone and Vitamin D in children?
Hello,
Doctors found stones in my son's kidney and asked for analysis of PTH and Vitamin D.
I made some analysis for my son (13 months old)
The PTH level was 10.5 and Vitamin D was 45.
Can you please tell me if these ranges are normal for this age???
I'm concerned about this.
Please help me.
Thanking in advance,
Admir

PTH is controlled by calcium in the blood. Low blood calcium causes an increase of the hormone, while high blood calcium inhibits PTH release. Normal values are 10 -55 pg/l and may vary from lab to lab. For vitamin D, you are deficient when your value is 12 ng/ml or less. The norm is usually from 25 to 50 ng/ml.
