Biochemical blood indices of patients with thyroid carcinoma after total thyreoidectomy
Peculiarities of the metabolic status in patients thyroidectomised due to differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma were studied in this article. Some unfavorable shifts in biochemical indices were revealed in the general group of operated patients and especially in subjects with non-compensated postoperative hypoparathyroidism. It was shown that the most important practical question in patients with manifestations of hypoparathyroidism is the necessity of impaired calcium metabolism correction. It makes regular serum total and ionized calcium levels check-ups essential, as well as the prescription of adequate medication to such patients.
