Quick Post-Surgery test could help spot calcium problems

NCT ID NCT02924532

Summary

This study looked back at 300 patients who had their thyroid gland removed. Researchers wanted to see if measuring a hormone (PTH) right after surgery could reliably predict which patients would NOT develop low calcium levels (hypoparathyroidism). The goal was to find a test result that could safely rule out this complication.
