There are two windows of protection for remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), an early (ERIPC) and a late-phase (LRIPC). While ERIPC has been well studied, works on LRIPC are relatively scarce, especially for the kidneys. We aimed to compare the effects of early-phase versus late-phase RIPC in patients with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). ⋯ Regardless of early-phase or late-phase intervention, limb remote ischemic preconditioning confers protection on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and the late-phase protection is more prominent.
