Plasma Parathyroid Hormone Concentration as a Predictor of Post-Operative Hypocalcemia in Dogs Diagnosed With Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Treated With Parathyroidectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypocalcemia is a relatively common complication after parathyroidectomy for treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Objectives

To retrospectively evaluate clinical variables in dogs with primary hyperparathyroidism to determine whether or not an association exists between pre-surgical variables and the development of post-surgical hypocalcemia.

Animals

One hundred three dogs diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism and treated by parathyroidectomy in seven referral hospitals between 2010 and 2021.

Material and methods

Data collected from medical records included signalment, physical examination findings, concurrent illnesses, ongoing medications, and clinicopathologic test results (including serum ALP activity, iCa, plasma phosphate and PTH conc
