Baseline intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone levels in parathyroid surgery

Abstract

We sought to evaluate the relationship between the preoperative core‐laboratory parathyroid hormone (CL‐PTH) level and the baseline intraoperative PTH (IOPTH) level and assess the impact of any differences on clinical decision making in consecutive surgical patients with primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy.
