Active clinical trials for "Hypocalcemia"

150 patients divided into two groups.The experimental group was submitted at the assay of iPTH six hours after surgery whilst the control group was submitted to a daily assay of serum calcium and phosphorus.

two groups of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy one group received calcium and vit d prophylaxis the other group received no prophylaxis the investigator measured calcium level post and preoperative and development of tetant was recorded

This Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial evaluates the clinical impact of parathyroid autofluorescence visualization using near infrared light (NIR) during total thyroidectomy (TT). It compares patients who undergo TT associated or not with lymph node dissection (LND) with NIR vs without NIR use during surgery.

The intensity of parathyroid fluorescence that occurs after intravenous injection of indocyanine green during the performance of a total thyroidectomy correlates with postoperative parathyroid function and could be used as a diagnostic marker of postoperative hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia.

With increasing economic pressures to shorten the length of hospital stay, there has been much recent interest in studying risk factors for the development of postoperative hypocalcemia. The aim of this study was to investigate in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy whether serum calcium and/or PTH levels can predict hypoparathyroidism.

Patients with confirmed or suspected states with resistance to vitamin D or parathyroid hormone (PTH) will be admitted for diagnosis, treatment review with suggestions for modifications to the current or new treatment and for inclusion in other protocols. These states include hypocalcemia, rickets, osteomalacia, pseudohypoparathyroidism. Resistance to a factor is manifested by deficient bioeffect despite high levels of the factor in blood. Patients will be tested with multiple indices of mineral metabolism to establish the diagnosis and examine the spectrum of the underlying disorder. The principal therapies will be combinations of calcium, phosphate, and a vitamin D analog. Selected patients will have localization and surgery to remove a tumor that causes renal wasting of phosphate. Patients will also be considered for entry into other research protocols.

Magnesium plays a role in the active transport of calcium (Ca+2) and potassium ions across cell membranes. Most of it is intracellular or in the bone , however less than 1% of magnesium is in the blood serum. Hypoparathyroidism post thyroidectomy leads to acute Hypocalcemia that leads to hypomagnesemia. The relation of Ca+2 and magnesium (Mg+2) metabolism is complex and mainly related to the interaction of these cations with parathyroid post thyroidectomy. (Mg+2) is an essential regulator of Ca+2 flux and intracellular action of Ca+2. Hypomagnesaemia impairs hypocalcaemia induced PTH release, which is corrected rapidly after magnesium replacement. Attempting to correct only hypocalcemia may prolong symptoms. It is important to monitor both Ca+2 & Mg+2 levels following thyroidectomy to facilitate prompt resolution of symptoms. Aim of the study: is to highlight the prevalence of hypomagnesemia following thyroidectomy and its association with hypocalcemia which mandate early recognition and treatment to prevent prolongation of hypocalcemia and permanent hypoparathyroidism Methods: IRB obtained (E20-4615) informed consent taken from all patient. This is prospective open Label observational study in patients underwent thyroidectomy .the study period was from January 2019 to January 2020. Total of 74 patients with normal renal function. Corrected serum Ca+2, magnesium, phosphate level and vitamin D level are all checked pre operatively and in the first post-operative day. Result: Post thyroidectomy 56.8% of patients had hypomagnesemia. 59.5.1% patients had hypocalcemia and 41.9% of patients had low both Ca+2 and Mg+2 (P=0.004) Conclusion: Hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia following thyroidectomy is of multi factorial related mainly to Ca+2, Mg+2 interaction.

Hypocalcemia is a frequent adverse event after thyroidectomy. It is usually related to hypoparathyroidism, but preoperative hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia or vitamin D deficiency contributes to it. This study aims to determine the frequency of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency in patients submitted to thyroidectomy, to define the risk attributed to vitamin D deficiency to postoperative hypocalcemia, to identify other factors associated to postoperative calcium disorder, and to evaluate the benefit of preoperative treatment of vitamin D deficiency to prevent postoperative hypocalcemia.

To investigate the safety and efficacy of the no-tie technique using the harmonic scalpel (HS) in terms of the operating time and complications in total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND). Recently, the HS has been used as an alternative to conventional hand-tied ligation for hemostasis in thyroid surgery, which is a time-consuming procedure. Very limited data have been published on evidence of its safety in total thyroidectomy accompanied by CND without supplementary hand-tied ligation.

Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is a prohormone and its active form is 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol. This hormone has effect on both calcium, phosphorus and bone metabolism and also bone morrow, muscle, heart and immune system. For a long time, maternal low vitamin D level is a well known problem for our country and the level was reported as <10 ng/ml for 46-80% of mothers.The most prominent risk factor was determined as low socioeconomic status. Therefore, the level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D is supposed to be in relation with several neonatal morbidities and maternal complications of pregnancy.
