Parathyroid changes after high dose radioactive iodine in patients with thyroid cancer

Objective The study aimed to investigate the effect of high dose radioactive iodine (RAI) on parathyroid function in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods Nineteen patients (8 men/11 women, age 46.5 ± 13.2 years) undergoing RAI for thyroid remnant ablation were enrolled in the study....

Zusammenfassung:Objective The study aimed to investigate the effect of high dose radioactive iodine (RAI) on parathyroid function in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods Nineteen patients (8 men/11 women, age 46.5 ± 13.2 years) undergoing RAI for thyroid remnant ablation were enrolled in the study. The biochemical parameters related to parathyroid function [serum calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), creatinine (Cr), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), urinary Ca, cAMP concentrations and the maximum tubular capacity for phosphate per unit volume of glomerular filtrate (TmP/GFR)] were evaluated at baseline and at the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th months of RAI administration. SPSS 15.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results For all patients, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were >30 U/ml at baseline and
