Summary

This completed study of 123 patients looked at what factors predict low calcium levels after total thyroid removal. Researchers measured calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels before and after surgery. They found that a low PTH level after surgery is a strong warning sign for developing hypocalcemia. The goal is to help doctors identify at-risk patients early.
