Early Prediction of Hypocalcemia After Thyroidectomy Using Postoperative Second Hour Parathormone

• Conditions: Hypocalcemia, Postoperative Parathormone
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: parathormone level

• Registration Number: NCT03717116
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul University

Brief Summary

Hypocalcemia is the most frequent complication in thyroid surgeries. Diagnosing this complication earlier will reduce longer hospital stay and will lead to an earlier intervention. The purpose of the study is to evaluate postoperative second hour parathyroid hormone measurement as a predictor for early stage hypocalcemia.
