Hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy: early factors predicting long-term outcome.
Hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy (TT) must be considered permanent in patients requiring calcium replacement after one year. The aim of this study was to identify early risk factors predicting long-term outcome of postoperative hypocalcemia. Among 453 patients who underwent TT from January 1998 to May 2003, a cross-sectional study between 44 patients with transient hypocalcemia (9.7%)...
متن کاملOptimization of thyroxine replacement therapy after total or near-total thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease.
BACKGROUND Total or near-total thyroidectomy is increasingly used to treat benign thyroid conditions. Lifelong treatment with thyroxine (T4) is then required, but the optimal dose is difficult to predict. This study investigated factors that might predict the ideal T4 dose, with the aim of reducing delays in achieving normal thyroid function after surgery. METHODS Data on 98 patients who unde...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone: a sensitive predictor of hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether monitoring parathyroid hormone (PTH) could predict hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy or other bilateral thyroid manipulations. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Forty patients undergoing total thyroidectomy as well as other bilateral thyroid procedures were prospectively enrolled. PTH levels were measured preoperatively and 30 minutes postoperatively. Calcium ...
متن کاملFactors affecting hypocalcaemia following total thyroidectomy: a prospective study.
OBJECTIVE After thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia is the most significant complication for clinicians. In this study, we investigated the factors associated with development of hypocalcaemia after thyroidectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the patients prospectively for age, gender, preoperative diagnosis, hormonal status, operative time, operating surgeon, existence of parathyroid gland ...
متن کاملComparison of the incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy vs completion thyroidectomy.
