  1. Data were presented as mean ± SD, or number (%). P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA test (with the independent two-sample Student’s t test for post hoc testing) or Fisher’s exact test (with the Mann-Whitney U test for post hoc testing), as appropriate
  2. TPVB thoracic paravertebral block, TAP transversus abdominis plane, LAI local anesthesia infiltration
  3. *Three cases of gouty nephropathy and one case of polycystic kidney disease. #One case of ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) associated vasculitis and one case of allergic purpura nephritis. +One case of hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulone nephritis
