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