Predicting Factors of Post-Total Thyroidectomy Hypocaӏcemia

Al Safwa University College123 enrolled

Overview

Predicting post-total thyroidectomy hypocalcemia involves a combination of patient-specific, disease-related, and surgical factors. Key predictive factors include the intrinsic characteristics of the thyroid disease, pre-operative levels of calcium and vitamin D, the degree of parathyroid gland manipulation or injury, advanced age, and pre-existing hyperthyroidism. While no single factor is definitive, a low post-operative parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level is a strong indicator of developing hypocalcemia
