[Prophylaxis of hypoparathyroidism after operations on the thyroid gland]
Abstract:
An analysis of results of surgical treatment of 50 patients aged from 16 to 75 years with different diseases of the thyroid has shown that the frequency of decrease of the level of calcium and parathormone becomes less in the row: diffuse toxic goiter, cancer of the thyroid gland, polynodous euthyroid goiter. Decrease of the calcium and parathormone level is associated with deterioration of blood circulation and functional activity of parathyroid glands after operation on the thyroid gland. The patients after operation on the thyroid gland need prophylactic administration of calcium preparations.
