Hypocalcemia After Thyroidectomy: iPTH Levels and iPTH Decline Are Predictive? Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine and Surgery, 2018
Hypocalcemia is the most common complication of thyroid surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the early predictive factors of postoperative hypocalcemia and to analyze their efficiency.We performed a retrospective study of 345 consecutive patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at the Endocrine Surgery Department (Policlinico G.

Low Serum iPTH at the End of Surgery Is the Earliest Predictor of Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Total Thyroidectomy

open access: yesLangenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2023
Abstract Background The most frequent complication of total thyroidectomy remains hypocalcemia due to low postoperative levels of serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of decreased iPTH at the end of surgery in predicting hypocalcemia.

iPTH Values During Hemodialysis: Role of Ionized Ca, Dialysis Membranes and iPTH Assays.

open access: yesKidney International, 1990
The evolution of serum iPTH concentration during hemodialysis was studied in eight patients who were dialyzed with cuprophane (Cu) and polyacrylonitrile membranes (PAN) during two four-hour sessions. Ca+(+) concentration in the dialysate was 1.37 mM/liter.

Early Prediction of Postthyroidectomy Hypocalcemia by One Single iPTH Measurement

Surgery, 2004
We prospectively evaluated the possibility to make an early prediction of postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia by postoperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) measurements.Fifty-three consecutive patients who underwent bilateral thyroid resection were included; iPTH was measured preoperatively, at the end of the surgical procedure, and at 2, 4, 6, 24, and

Postoperative IPTH compared with IPTH gradient as predictors of post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcemia

The Laryngoscope, 2017
Objectives/HypothesisPredicting patients' risk for hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy may allow for same‐day discharge. This study was designed to compare postoperative intact parathyroid hormone (IPTH) alone with percentage change in IPTH (IPTH gradient) in predicting post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcemia.Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.MethodsPatients

Renal stone disease, elevated iPTH level and normocalcemia

International Urology and Nephrology, 2002
There is a well established relationship between primary hyperparathyroidism and recurrent calcium-containing calculi. Traditionally, the diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of elevated intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and serum ionised calcium levels.

Association of Low Vitamin D and Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) in Nepalese Population: When Does iPTH Exactly Rise?

open access: yesJournal of the Endocrine Society
Abstract Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern that provokes bone demineralization and weakening. In response to the decreased vitamin D level, calcium stores wear out. The homeostatic effect of compensatory hyperparathyroidism in vitamin D deficiency incites variable discrepancies in different populations.

A Decrease in Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Levels Is Associated With Higher Mortality in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The mortality of dialysis patients is 10- to 100-fold higher than in the general population. Baseline serum PTH levels, and more recently, changes in serum PTH levels (ΔPTH) over time, have been associated to mortality in dialysis patients.We explored the relationship between ΔPTH over 1 year with mortality over the next year in a prospective cohort of
