The authors report the first case series of conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Thailand Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was successfully performed in two patients with small renal tumors. The first patient underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a 3.8 x 3.3 cm renal mass. Intraoperative blood loss was 100 ml with warm ischemic time of 38 minutes. Pathologic...

Nephrectomy of a failed kidney transplant is indicated for hematuria and local pain (usually attributed to rejection), but may be done electively to facilitate cessation of immunosuppression. Transplant nephrectomy may also limit long-term cardiovascular risk (1). Despite these potential benefits, transplant nephrectomy can be complicated by morbidities surrounding surgery, and several retrospe...

BACKGROUND Changes in mineral metabolism and bone structure develop early in the course of chronic kidney disease and at end-stage are associated with increased risk of fragility fractures. The disruption of phosphorus homeostasis leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism, a common complication of chronic kidney disease. However, the molecular pathways by which high phosphorus influences bone meta...
