ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Bariatric surgery may modulate the hormones and elements which maintain thyroid and calcium homeostasis. These adaptations in hormonal and elemental aspects have previously been determined via some studies with variations in their findings. Thyroid volume and 24-h urinary calcium are two parameters which have not been investigated regarding whether they change during the bariatric postsurgical period. This study planned to examine the changes in calcium metabolism and thyroid gland functioning after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Seventy-three morbidly obese patients with planned bariatric surgery were enrolled in the study. Before and 12 months after the operation, parathormone (PTH), 25-OH-vitamin D3(25vitD3), TSH, free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), calcium (Ca), 24-h urinary Ca and ultrasonography-guided thyroid volume were measured.RESULTS:
In the beginning, 73 patients were examined and 12 months after surgery out of 25 patients continuing follow-up, 20 (80%) had undergone sleeve gastrectomy (SG) while five (20%) had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Accompanied by significant BMI decrease, 24-h urinary Ca and thyroid volume did not significantly increase in RYGB, SG, and the whole group after 12 months. The SG group showed a significant drop in TSH (p 0.03) level, while the RYGB group showed significant decreases in fT4 (p 0.00) and fT3 (p 0.00); and significant fT3 decrease (p 0.01) was recorded for the whole group.CONCLUSION:
Bariatric surgery may modify Ca homeostasis and thyroid gland functional status. We documented that these were not statistically significant increases in 24-h urinary Ca level and thyroid volume after 1 year. Further studies are needed to understand the issue, enrolling more patients who underwent the same bariatric procedure and after accounting for the inhibition of supplementary vitamin and mineral effects.Palabras clave
