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

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.
