Changes in Circulating Sclerostin Levels During Acute Postsurgical Hypoparathyroidism

Completed
Conditions
Hypoparathyroidism Postprocedural
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04146259
Lead Sponsor
University of Athens
Brief Summary

To investigate changes in sclerostin levels following acute post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism

Detailed Description

Female patients with thyroid disorders, referred to the Department of Head and Neck Surgery, at Metaxa Anti-Cancer Hospital of Piraeus, for total thyroidectomy.

Based on the development of biochemical hypocalcemia (cCa \< 8.4 mg/dl), subjects were divided into 2 groups: Group A: without postsurgical hypoparathyroidism that served as controls and group B: subjects, with acute postsurgical hypoparathyroidism.

Blood collections were performed in the morning after an overnight fast, in at least 3 different time points; preoperatively, 1st postoperative day and 7th postoperative day for the detrmination of sclerostin levels
