About
Naureen Iqbal is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on the complex intersection of endocrine surgery, metabolic disorders, and transplant medicine. Her most cited case report, "Protracted Hypocalcemia following 3.5 Parathyroidectomy in a Kidney Pancreas Recipient with a History of Robotic-Assisted Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass" (2018), highlights her expertise in managing challenging post-surgical complications. In this study, she documented a rare and difficult scenario: a kidney-pancreas transplant recipient who developed prolonged, severe hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism, compounded by prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Her work underscores the critical need for tailored perioperative care in patients with altered calcium metabolism due to bariatric surgery and immunosuppression. With 5 citations, this paper has informed clinical guidelines for high-risk populations. Iqbal’s research bridges endocrinology, transplant surgery, and bariatric outcomes, offering practical insights for managing metabolic bone disease in complex patients. Her contributions are particularly valuable for surgeons and endocrinologists navigating the growing overlap between obesity surgery and organ transplantation.
