Calcium Replacement Therapy in Postoperative Hypoparathyroidism
A Pilot Study of Calcium Replacement Therapy in Postoperative Hypoparathyroidism
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a lower-dose calcium replacement therapy is non-inferior to a higher-dose regimen in preventing symptomatic hypoparathyroidism in patients following thyroidectomy. The hypothesis is:
• lower-dose calcium replacement therapy is non-inferior to higher-dose therapy in preventing symptomatic hypoparathyroidism during the first two postoperative weeks
Researchers will compare patients receiving a lower-dose calcium replacement regimen with those receiving a higher-dose regimen to assess whether the lower dose is not associated with a higher incidence of symptomatic hypoparathyroidism.
Patients who develop post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism are divided into groups for calcium replacement therapy. If they are asymptomatic, they will be scheduled for a follow-up visit at two weeks after surgery. During the follow-up visit, calcium metabolism will be evaluated, and treatment adjusted if necessary.

説明
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients over the age of 18 undergoing surgery involving both lobes of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy, "near-total" thyroidectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy, and "completed" thyroidectomy)
- Based on the first post-operative day analysis, PTH levels are below the normal range (in our hospitals 1.8-7.8 pmol/l), but not so low (below 1.06 pmol/L) as to require calcium replacement therapy with calcitriol (rocaltrol)
Exclusion Criteria:
- previously diagnosed osteoporosis; the patient is already taking calcium and vitamin D supplements prior to thyroid surgery
- renal insufficiency (eGFR < 30)
- patients with concomitant hyperparathyroidism undergoing simultaneous thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy for a parathyroid adenoma

武器と介入
参加者グループ / アーム |
介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
アクティブコンパレータ：Lower dose calcium replacement
calcium carbonate 1250 mg x 2
|
One study group takes calcium carbonate 1250 mg (500 mg elemental calcium) twice a day (at lunchtime and in the evening)
|
|
アクティブコンパレータ：Higher dose calcium replacement
calcium carbonate 1250 mg x 4
|
The second study group takes 1250 mg of calcium carbonate (500 mg of elemental calcium) four times a day (starting at noon, at approximately 4-hour intervals: at noon, in the early afternoon, in the evening, and before bedtime).
This dosage regimen is prescribed because 500 mg of calcium can be absorbed at a time.
