Summary

In the study will be included patients that have undergone total thyroidectomy and do not display obvious clinical or laboratory hypoparathyroidism. On the third postoperative day and before the patient's exit from the hospital, the patient will undergo an intravenous infusion test with 35ml/m2 dilution of 8.4%(w/v) sodium bicarbonate in two minutes. Three months after the operation, if the study conditions are still met, the patient will undergo an additional parathyroid hormone (PTH) measurement and sodium bicarbonate infusion test and the parathyroid function will be evaluated again.
