Laparoscopic nephrectomy revealed a complete replacement of the nonfunctioning left kidney by cysts.
Postoperative follow-up showed persistently reduced GFR at 52 mL/min/1.73 m², highlighting ongoing renal function concerns.
Structural compensation in the right kidney was observed alongside biochemical abnormalities, indicating risks of chronic kidney disease.
Proactive biochemical surveillance can detect issues like proteinuria and phosphate retention, essential for safeguarding kidney health.
