Peripheral effects of PTH are not altered after thyroid surgery in euthyroid patients

Summary, in English

Background. We have previously found decreased serum levels of both ionized calcium and 1,25(OH)(2)D and an increase in serum phosphate levels at 1 year after hemithyroidectomy. However, basal and stimulated parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretions were not altered. To investigate whether the observed biochemical changes after unilateral thyroid surgery may be due to a relative end-organ resistance to PTH, we studied the peripheral effects of infused hPTH-(1-34) in 6 patients preoperatively and 3 months after hemithyroidectomy. Methods: Serum levels of TSH, FT4 and FT3 were measured pre- and postoperatively. hPTH-(1-34) was infused at 0.9 IU/kg/h during 6 h. Blood samples for analysis of ionized calcium, intact PTH, phosphate, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)(2)D and urinary samples for calcium, phosphate and nephrogenous(n)-cAMP analysis were taken at baseline, when the infusion was discontinued after 6 h and at 24 h. Results: Three months after hemithyroidectomy, serum levels of FT3 were decreased and TSH levels increased. Pre- and postoperative hPTH-(1-34) infusions induced increased serum levels of ionized calcium, 1,25(OH)2D, increased urinary excretion of phosphate and elevated n-cAMP levels. The changes in the studied biochemical variables during the hPTH-(1-34) infusions did not differ between the two study occasions. Conclusion: By using a 6-hour hPTH-(1-34) infusion protocol, we have shown that the peripheral PTH effect is not altered by a slight reduction in thyroid hormone levels at 3 months after hemithyroidectomy.
