Vitamin D Status as a Predictor of Postoperative Hypocalcemia after Thyroidectomy

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2020
ObjectiveTo determine whether perioperative vitamin D levels are predictive of postoperative hypocalcemia in patients receiving thyroidectomy.Study DesignSingle center retrospective study.Subjects and MethodsThis study included all patients receiving total or completion thyroidectomy between January 2007 and March 2017 at a single tertiary care ...

Less Is More: Parathyroidectomy and Association with Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Dialysis Patients

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2023
BACKGROUND: Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is the most effective treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Literature regarding the effect of surgical approaches on postoperative hypocalcemia is limited and mainly focuses on postoperative calcium levels. This study aims to evaluate the association of subtotal PTx and total PTx with

Loupe Magnification Reduces Postoperative Hypocalcemia after Total Thyroidectomy

The American Surgeon™, 2010
We aimed to evaluate the impact of loupe magnification (LM) on incidental parathyroid gland removal (from pathology reports), hypocalcemia, and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury after total thyroidectomy and answer the question of whether this tool should be always recommended for patient's safety.

Postoperative Parathyroid Hormone Level as a Predictor of Post-thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia

The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2003
To evaluate levels of parathyroid hormone following total thyroidectomy in order to ascertain its ability to predict postoperative hypocalcemia. To establish standardized criteria permitting the safe discharge of total thyroidectomy patients within 13 hours of surgery.This is a prospective study in which parathyroid hormone levels were tested in 54 ...

Predictors of Early Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Hemodialysis Patients With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Transplantation Proceedings, 2009
We sought to investigate predictors of early development of postoperative hypocalcemia in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thirty-six hemodialysis patients (21 men, 15 women; mean age, 39.6 +/- 13.2 years; mean hemodialysis duration, 77.9 +/- 47.1 months) underwent parathyroidectomy.

A novel index to predict postoperative hypocalcemia in primary hyperparathyroidism

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -)
Vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency is common in patients with hyperparathyroidism, but the importance of replacement before surgery is controversial. It can be predicted that hypocalcemia risk will be higher in patients with high bone turnover.In this study, the effect of preoperative ALP/Vit D ratio on postoperative hypocalcemia was investigated.Among the ...

Predictability of Hypocalcemia Using Early Postoperative Serum Calcium Levels

The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2001
In operations involving the thyroid or parathyroid glands, postoperative serum calcium levels are one contributing factor to patients' length of hospital stay. In this study, we wanted to determine whether early postoperative serum calcium levels could be used to predict hypocalcemia following operations of the thyroid or parathyroid glands.A ...

Intraoperative parathormone measurements and postoperative hypocalcemia.

The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2010
Hypocalcemia following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is a well-recognized potential complication.To determine the utility of intraoperative quick parathormone assay in predicting severe hypocalcemia development following parathyroidectomy for a single-gland adenoma causing primary hyperparathyroidism.A retrospective cohort study was performed.

Postoperative Hypocalcemia after Parathyroidectomy for Renal Hyperparathyroidism in the Era of Cinacalcet

The American Surgeon™, 2009
Chronic kidney disease is often accompanied by hyperparathyroidism. Cinacalcet, a recent addition to the medical armamentarium, has proven efficacious. It is unclear whether cinacalcet use has any impact on the postoperative course in patients progressing to surgery.

Postoperative PTH monitoring of hypocalcemia expedites discharge after thyroidectomy

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014
Hypocalcemia is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Some patients need to stay in the hospital for monitoring of hypocalcemic symptoms and serum calcium levels for several days. We investigated the efficacy and safety of using early postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) results for early discharge after thyroidectomy.A ...
