Summary

This study is designed as a prospective non-randomized longitudinal single- center cohort study to evaluate the importance of correcting total serum calcium levels. It will enroll around 100 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy with data being collected from March 2020 up to August 2020. The aim of this study is to determine whether total serum calcium level should be corrected for serum albumin in assessing symptomatic hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and which variable (total serum calcium, ionized calcium, corrected serum calcium for albumin with Payne's formula or early PTH) is the most valuable predictor of symptomatic hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy.

Conditions

  • Hypocalcemia
  • Thyroid
  • Parathyroid Dysfunction
  • Calcium Disorder
  • Hormone Disturbance
  • Postoperative Complications

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Total serum calcium blood test

Total serum calcium measurements will be done on the first postoperative day. Also ionized calcium, corrected total serum calcium for serum albumin with Payne's formula and PTH will be monitored.
