Abstract
The Bio-Intact PTH (1-84) level at 30 min after parathyroidectomy seems to be useful for judging whether the parathyroidectomy is complete irrespective of the number of glands removed from patients with secondary HPT. When only three diseased parathyroid glands are removed, the surgeon can decide whether to continue or stop neck exploration according to the level of Bio-Intact PTH (1-84) at 30 min.
