Abstract | BACKGROUND: PATIENTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: The serum levels of calcium, magnesium, and 25( OH)D were significantly higher, but iPTH levels and 1,25( OH)2D levels were lower in summer than in winter. The percentage of vitamin D deficiency (25( OH)D < 25 nmol/L) was 23% in summer and 62% in winter (P < .001). iPTH was below the detection limit on the first postoperative day in 15 patients (13.8%) in summer and in 13 patients (11.4%) in winter. In summery, tetany developed in only 4 of 15 patients and in one patient whose iPTH level was below normal (incidence of tetany, 5.6%). In winter, however, tetany developed in 6 of 13 patients and in 4 patients whose iPTH level was below normal (incidence of tetany, 11.2%). CONCLUSIONS:
