Through the analysis of our preliminary experience on 36 consecutive cases of thyroid surgery, we assessed the feasibility of the rapid intraoperative assay of the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) as predictive risk factor of hypocalcemia versus seric calcium level on the first post-operative day to select the patients eligible to an early discharge. Furthermore, we managed to determine if iPTH level during thyroid surgery could point out the cases in which parathyroid autotransplantation is necessary, as the macroscopic evaluation of the parathyroid gland's viability is inadequate.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
