In hypoparathyroidism, inappropriately low levels of parathyroid hormone lead to unbalanced mineral homeostasis. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of recombinant human parathyroid hormone, rhPTH(1-84), on phosphate and vitamin D metabolite levels in patients with hypoparathyroidism. Following pretreatment optimization of calcium and vitamin D doses, 124 patients in a phase...

Long term patient outcomes are rarely analyzed. THE AIM OF THE STUDY was to assess effect of complicated thyroid burgery procedures on personal and Professional life of patients.

background transient hypocalcemia is one of the postoperative complications of thyroidectomy for thyroid nodules, and intraoperative and postoperative intact parathyroid hormone (ipth) assays are used to predict postoperative hypocalcemia. objectives the current study was conducted to evaluate a single serum ipth measurement on postoperative day 1 (pod 1) as a means to predict hypocalcemia occu...

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder in which parathyroid hormone (PTH) production is abnormally low or absent, resulting in low serum calcium and increased serum phosphorus. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is parathyroid gland injury or inadvertent removal during thyroid surgery. Current treatments include supplementation with calcium and active vitamin D, with goal albu...
