Table 2.
Thyroid function of hyperthyroid patients after parathyroidal surgery (n = 30) is compared with hyperthyroid patients due to other causes (n = 17; Graves' disease: n = 7, autonomous thyroid adenoma: n = 10) serving as control group.
Hyperthyroid patients after SHP surgery n = 30 | Control group n = 17 | p | |
---|---|---|---|
TSH [mU/L] | 0.13 ± 0.02 | 0.01 ± 0.01 | 0.003 |
fT3 [ng/L] | 6.47 ± 0.68 | 5.40 ±1.61 | 0.30 |
fT4 [ng/L] | 22.33 ±2.14 | 16.33 ± 4.55 | 0.87 |
Thyroglobulin [ng/mL] | 373.6 ± 93.3 | 31.6 ± 12.2 | 0.01 |
Medians ± standard errors are displayed. A two tailed student's-t test was used.
fT3: free triiodothyronine, fT4: free thyroxine, SHP: secondary hyperparathyroidism, TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone.
