Abstract: Objective To explore whether parathyroid hormone(PTH)levels on postoperative day 1 can predict the recovery of parathyroid function by determining the PTH levels on postoperative days 1, 3, and 30 in patients who underwent total thyroidectomy. Methods The clinical data of 68 patients treated with total thyroidectomy between September 2014 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The PTH levels were determined on postoperative days 1, 3, and 30. The patients were then divided into three groups on the basis of PTH levels on postoperative day 1: Group A, PTH<5 pg/mL; Group B, 5 pg/mL≤PTH<10 pg/mL; and Group C, PTH≥10 pg/mL. Results Higher PTH levels on postoperative day 1 correlated with lower incidence rates of low parathyroid function. On postoperative day 3, there was a difference between Groups A and C, and Groups B and C. Again, on postoperative day 30, there was a difference between Groups B and C. Conclusion If PTH levels on postoperative day 1 are less than 5 pg/mL, it is difficult to recover normal levels and hypocalcemia will occur within 30 days. However, if PTH levels on postoperative day 1 are ≥10 pg/mL, it is easier to recover normal levels.
