[Intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement is the best predictor of postoperative symptomatic hypocalcemia].

CONCLUSION: Calcium and PTH values as well as PTH decline are significant risk factors for postoperative HC. Preoperatively, only calcium measurement is prognostically significant. Intraoperative PTH measurement is the most reasonable and sensitive factor for early recognition of temporary postoperative HC in the clinical setting.
