Simple blood test may prevent thyroid surgery side effect
NCT ID NCT07491601
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether measuring parathyroid hormone (PTH) soon after thyroid removal can prevent symptomatic hypoparathyroidism, a condition causing low calcium and uncomfortable symptoms. About 336 adults having thyroid surgery will be monitored. If early PTH testing works, it could lead to faster treatment, shorter hospital stays, and better quality of life.
