The Authors have examined 30 patients post-total thyroidectomy and registered a transient decrease of calcemia in 9 and a decrease of PTH in 11. Serum albumin and calcitonin were always normal. In all the patients calcemia and PTH returned to normal values in 7 days except in 2 patients in whom the values were normalized after one month.
