The effect of altered parathyroid hormone metabolism in renal insufficiency on intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring during parathyroidectomy is not well known. This study evaluates operative outcomes in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy guided by intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring for primary hyperparathyroidism with mild and moderate renal insufficiency.A retrospective review...
The importance of intraoperative parathormone “spikes” during parathyroidectomy remains unclear. This study compared patients with and without intraoperative parathormone spikes during parathyroidectomy using the criterion of a > 50% parathormone and determined the effect of intraoperative parathormone spikes on operative outcome.We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data...
