Zusammenfassung::  Hypercalcaemia and hypertransaminasaemia are well recognized and not infrequent findings in hyperthyroidism in adults. Both conditions are seldom reported in children. Here we report the case of a 4‐year‐old girl with hyperthyroidism associated with hypercalcaemia and hypertransaminasaemia which were reversed after euthyroid state was achieved. We recommend that serum calcium and liver function should always be monitored in children with hyperthyroidism.
