Diagnoses and some laboratory data of 29 patients with low plasma tocopherol levels are reported. Most patients had malabsorption and/or liver diseases. The different mechanisms leading to low plasma tocopherol levels are discussed. Substitution therapy with tocopherol (vitamin E) must be considered in selected cases.
