Prof. Sinee Disthabanchong is a Professor of Medicine and nephrologist at the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, in Bangkok, Thailand. Her academic and administrative roles include Deputy Dean for Research Administration and Acting Deputy Dean for Innovations and Cooperation. The supplied material also records her previous service as Deputy Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital. Her clinical specialty is nephrology, with a particular research focus on chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), an area in which she has contributed to both basic and clinical research.

Prof. Disthabanchong received her medical education at Mahidol University’s Faculty of Medicine and completed residency training in internal medicine at Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital from 1995 to 1998. She then pursued nephrology fellowship training at SSM Health/Saint Louis University School of Medicine from 1998 to 2000. The source material also lists her medical class year as 1993 and a Missouri medical license covering 2012–2027. Her research has examined the effects of metabolic acidosis on osteoblast differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells, the potential role of sodium thiosulfate in slowing vascular calcification, and the association between severe hyperparathyroidism and protein-energy wasting. She has also contributed to clinical practice guidance for CKD-MBD in Thailand and has held editorial and professional society responsibilities.

Her professional activities include service as an executive member of the Nephrology Society of Thailand, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Nephrology Society of Thailand, a member of the continuing medical education committee of the Asia Pacific Society of Nephrology, and abstract co-chair for the World Congress of Nephrology 2023. The supplied publication records include work on mineral outcomes in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis and post-transplant malignancies in Thai adult kidney transplant recipients.
