Predictors factors for post-thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence and predictors of post-thyroidectomy definitive hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism. METHODS We assessed ionic calcium preoperatively and postoperatively (first, second and 30th day) in 333 patients undergoing thyroidectomy. In those presenting hypocalcemia, measurements were also made 90 and 180 days after surgery, when parathormone was also dosed. Patient...

The high incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy and the significant morbidity associated with it can account for the sustained efforts to find reliable, affordable markers for the prognosis of this condition. Therefore, a lot of attention has been paid recently to the perioperative measurement of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) as an immediate indicator showing th...

متن کاملOutcome of hypocalcaemia after thyroidectomy treated only in symptomatic patients.
BACKGROUND Calcium supplementation has been proposed after bilateral thyroid surgery, either to all patients or to those with biochemical hypocalcaemia. It has also been suggested that supplementation aids parathyroid recovery and prevents permanent hypoparathyroidism. This single-centre study investigated the feasibility of a restrictive management of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia. METHOD...
