Secondary Hyperparathyroidism after Bariatric Surgery: Treatment Is with Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Citrate?
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, can cause serious nutritional complications arising from poor absorption of essential nutrients. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one such complications that leads to increased parathyroid hormone levels due to a decrease in calcium and vitamin D, which may compromise bone health. AIM To compare calcium carbonate and calcium citrate in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHOD Patients were selected on the basis of their abnormal biochemical test and treatment was randomly done with citrate or calcium carbonate. RESULTS After 60 days of supplementation, biochemical tests were repeated, showing improvement in both groups. CONCLUSION Supplementation with calcium (citrate or carbonate) and vitamin D is recommended after surgery for prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Comparison of Phosphate Lowering Properties of Calcium Acetate and Calcium Carbonate in Hemodialysis Patients
Hyperphosphatemia has an important role in the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism and bone disease in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The most effective method of phosphate elimination lies with phosphate binders, the agent that more commonly used, calcium carbonate, is not an ideal binding agent. In this regard, calcium acetate has been reported to have more or at least...

Obesity surgery is a highly effective treatment for morbidly obese patients. Despite effective weight reduction, the impact of bariatric surgery on bone is a major concern. Mechanisms of the deleterious effect include calcium and vitamin D malabsorption with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), deficiency in other nutrients and alterations in gut-derived hormones. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and R...

BACKGROUND Morbidly obese patients have been reported to present with vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Scattered data are available regarding the effects of bariatric surgery on vitamin D status. We studied calcium metabolism and vitamin D status before and after bariatric surgery. METHODS In this prospective study, 64 patients (M5/F59) fulfilled the inclusion criter...

Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) defines as persistent and severe hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy surgery. It is treated by oral or venous discrimination of calcium carbonate. The present treatment is mostly effective. Hereby, we describe a 60-year-old man who had developed hyperparathyroidism secondary to end-stage renal disease and then parathyroidectomy was performed for him twice before rena...

Objective. Nutritional deficiencies are common after bariatric surgery. We aimed to assess the prevalence and possible predictors of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in bariatric patients. Methods. A total of 95 patients who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were assessed after a median of 3 years after surgery. Anthropometric/demographic and weight-lo...
