Conclusion: Parathyroidectomy-induced thyroiditis is underrecognized. The majority of patients are asymptomatic, although clinically significant

Can parathyroidectomy cause hypothyroidism?
At least one study indicates that people can experience HPT and hypothyroidism at the same time. In the study, researchers evaluated 54 patients who underwent parathyroid gland surgery between January 1990 and December 1995. They found that patients coping with HPT often experienced thyroid disease.
