Article Synopsis
- The study examined how long it takes for parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels to return to normal after parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism, evaluating data from 186 patients over five years.
- Out of the final group of 176 patients, 26.1% had elevated PTH levels post-surgery despite normal calcium levels, with a median time to normalization of 6 months.
- Findings suggest that high preoperative PTH levels can predict postoperative normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism, while vitamin D and creatinine levels don’t appear to impact the normalization timeline.
