Abstract:
Hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy is a common complication. It is typically transient in patients with mild parathyroid-related bone disease. Distinguishing between hungry bone syndrome (HBS) and hypoparathyroidism following parathyroidectomy in established renal failure (ERF) patients presents a significant diagnostic challenge. This case study describes a 44-year-old male with severe hypocalcemia following a four-gland parathyroidectomy, highlighting the diagnostic considerations and management strategies.
