Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients with Biliopancreatic Diversion After 10 Years of Follow-up, and Relationship with Vitamin D and Serum Calcium.

Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a matter of concern after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between SHPT, 25(OH)D, and calcium after BPD.

Design: A retrospective analysis in obese patients after BPD performed between 1998 and 2016.

Influence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies on TSH levels of pregnant women and maternal-fetal complications.

Introduction: During pregnancy, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies may increase the risk of developing subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). Both conditions appear to be associated to maternal-fetal complications. The objectives of this study were to analyze if a relationship exists between TSH and TPO levels during pregnancy and the potential effects on gestational and perinatal complications, and to assess whether detectable, but not positive, TPO levels have an impact on development of gestational SCH.
