Low Calcium After Thyroid Surgery Study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop low calcium levels after thyroid surgery. It aims to understand risk factors by reviewing medical records of patients who had their thyroid removed at Minia University Hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a thyroidectomy (removal of your thyroid gland) at Minia University Hospital.
- You were 18 years or older at the time of surgery.
- You have medical records with complete details about your surgery and recovery.
- Your blood calcium levels were measured after the surgery.
- You were followed for at least 6 months after surgery, or your final health status is known.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether taking vitamin D (cholecalciferol) before a total thyroid removal can reduce the risk of developing low blood calcium afterward. If you’re having your thyroid removed, the results may help prevent symptoms like tingling, cramps, or spasms caused by low calcium.
This study tests whether using a special light (called autofluorescence) during thyroid cancer surgery helps lower the risk of a common side effect—hypoparathyroidism, which can cause low calcium levels. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a complete thyroid removal and have normal calcium before surgery.
This trial is testing whether thyroid hormone replacement after surgery is safe for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It may help maintain normal hormone levels after part of the thyroid is removed.
This study looks at how you feel after thyroid surgery for cancer. It tests whether adding Chinese medicine treatments can help with symptoms like pain or fatigue during recovery.
This trial tests whether it is safe to avoid immediate surgery and instead monitor small thyroid cancers that are considered low-risk. If you join, doctors will check regularly to make sure the cancer does not grow or spread.
This study looks at how thyroid cancer—or thyroid tumors that may be cancer—affect your quality of life before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand what patients experience and how treatment planning could be better.
