Thyroidectomy
Hi I had total thyroidectomy due to Thyroid cancer, Parathyroids were preserved. Taking calcium supplement of 2000 mg.
Day of discharge calcium was 8.3mg/DL
Before Rai therapy calcium was 10.2mg/DL
After 11 days of RAI calcium was 7mg/DL
Later after 10 days calcium was 7.2mg/DL
My albumin level is 4.2gms/DL
If my Albumin is normal and earlier calcium was normal why there is sudden decrease ?
What blood test should I appear for ?

Hi,
You should consult your surgeon and get your self evaluated.
You need to take calcium supplementation if it's low. You may check serum PTH levels..
