This study aimed to estimate the relationship between the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and calcium ion concentration in Libyan women, as the study conducted in the city of Tocra- eastern Libya. Venous blood samples were collected in the laboratory from a total of 34 women, whose average age was 20-50 to measure the level of TSH and calcium concentration. The findings showed that the correlation between calcium ion concentration and TSH were strong. The calcium ion concentration increased depending on the increase in TSH.
