Abstract |
Bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, can cause serious nutritional complications arising from poor absorption of essential nutrients. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one such complications that leads to increased parathyroid hormone levels due to a decrease in calcium and vitamin D, which may compromise bone health. To compare calcium carbonate and calcium citrate in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Patients were selected on the basis of their abnormal biochemical test and treatment was randomly done with citrate or calcium carbonate. After 60 days of supplementation, biochemical tests were repeated, showing improvement in both groups. Supplementation with calcium (citrate or carbonate) and vitamin D is recommended after surgery for prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism. |
