He devoted the first two decades of his career to the clinical care of dialysis patients at Tri-Service General Hospital and private Kou-Cheng clinic in Taipei, Taiwan. At the same time, he conducted bone biopsy (Histomorphometric study) research for renal patients, especially on the osteitis fibrosa cystica (SHPT) and calcitriol therapy.
