## Abstract ## Background. Rapid parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay has been applied to predict hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy compared with conventional close monitoring of serum calcium levels. We evaluated the reliability of intraoperative intact PTH (ioPTH) assay to predict hypocalcemia after t
## Abstract ## Background Use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) monitoring during total parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism is common, although its ability to predict longβterm normoparathyroid state is not known. ## Methods Prospective evaluation of 57 consecutive pa
