Quick hormone test may spot thyroid surgery complication risk
NCT ID NCT02924532
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 300 patients who had their thyroid removed to see if a parathyroid hormone (PTH) test right after surgery could predict low calcium levels. The goal was to find a threshold that rules out hypoparathyroidism. Researchers reviewed past medical records to analyze the test's accuracy.
