Investigation of the Optimal Calcium Supplement Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study investigates whether calcium citrate or calcium carbonate are the optimal supplement to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operation.
Half of the participants will be randomized to receive calcium citrate, while the other half will receive calcium carbonate. The study will be double blinded.
