Is it possible to predict hypothyroidism after thyroid lobectomy through thyrotropin, thyroglobulin, anti-thyroglobulin, and anti-microsomal antibody?

Abstract: PurposeWe investigated the incidence and risk factors of hypothyroidism after thyroid lobectomy, and evaluated the possibility to predict hypothyroidism preoperatively with serologic markers, such as thyrotropin (TSH), thyroglobulin (TG), anti-thyroglobulin (ATA), and anti-microsomal antibody (AMA).MethodsWe enrolled 123 consecutive patients who underwent thyroid lobectomy due to benign conditions between May 2004 and April 2008. Only preoperative euthyroid patients were included. Patients were divided into tw… Show more

“…For patients who had preoperative low normal TSH or nonthyroiditis and the first visit (6 weeks) had normal TSH result, thyroid function might be monitored every six months for the first year and on a yearly basis thereafter, since it is rarely developing hypothyroidism. However, patients with normal TSH level at the first post-operative visit but with numerous risk backgrounds such as preoperative high normal serum TSH, elevated thyroid antibodies titers, or thyroiditis in the resected thyroid, should have serum TSH monitoring follow-ups that include scheduled serial TSH draws at 3, 6, 12 months and on a year lybasis post-operatively to detect the possible late development of hypothyroidism 4,12,19 .…”

“…Hypothyroidism following thyroid lobectomy has been highlighted in several studies that show different prevalence rates and risk factors. 1 , 3 6 , 9 Vaiman et al., 2008 3 reported that out of 1 051 hemithyroidectomy cases, 28% developed permanent postoperative hypothyroidism and 46% developed temporary hypothyroidism, all of which required postsurgical thyroxine. A hypothyroidism prevalence rate of 47% following hemithyroidectomy has also been reported.…”

“…Thyroid lobectomy has become common practice for some thyroid diseases, 1 and is indicated in cases of a single thyroid nodule, single toxic adenoma and, rarely, unilateral goitre. 2 The nodule in the vast majority of cases is benign or has suspicious or indeterminate characteristics on fine-needle aspiration cytology.…”
