Predictors of early postoperative hypocalcemia after total parathyroidectomy in renal hyperparathyroidism.

Conclusion: Results from our study show that most of the patients with renal hyperparathyroidism were symptomatic preoperatively and the most common clinical presentations were bone pain and muscle weakness. The significant predictor of early postoperative hypocalcemia after total parathyroidectomy was the preoperative alkaline phosphatase levels. PMID: 31909044 [PubMed]
