#NephHistory
In Boston, 14 mnths after the initial report of tolerance in chimeric mice came the next landmark->On Dec 23,1954, Joseph Murray & John P Merrill bypassed the barrier of rejection by using the pt’s identical twin as the donor of a human kidney transplant #NephHistory #NephTwitter
Peter Medawar’s(1960 Nobel Physiology/Medicine)work on graft rejection and acquired immune tolerance are fundamental to tissue and organ transplants.He came upon his discoveries on researching a colleague's question at a cocktail party about cattle twins!#NephHistory #NephTwitter
In 1933, the Soviet surgeon Yu Yu Voronoy performed the first human-to-human kidney transplant. The kidney was not procured until 6 hrs after the donor’s death & it was transplanted across a major blood group mismatch-> accounted for its prompt failure #NephHistory #NephTwitter
@Nephro_Sparks The end of the ureter was sutured to the skin and-> in the presence of the audience Dr.Ullman showed -> urine flowed from the ureter. The kidney functioned for 5 days. #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
The first ever successful Kidney transplantation was that of a dog kidney into the neck of another dog, by the Austrian Dr Emerich Ullmann (1861-1937) in 1902->renal artery joined to the carotid artery,renal vein to the ext jugular vein #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
Dr.Thomas Latta, was inspired by O’Shaughnessy’s logic. Latta performed the first therapeutic intravenous resuscitation in May,1832 with infusions of a homemade solution, a watery hypotonic mix of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
A pandemic led to IV fluids! William Brooke O’Shaughnessy (an Irish physician fresh out of med school,1831)observed in cholera patients that large amounts of water, electrolytes had been leeched from the blood and lost in stool.His solution->replenish it #NephHistory #NephTwitter
The renal wards @GSTTnhs opened in 1842 by Richard Bright. They are still open and receive patients 175 years later!
Bright described 23 cases with emphasis on albuminous urine with dropsical effusions, each case is followed to the post-mortem room, where, with the aid of Hodgkin (of "Hodgkin Lymphoma")he demonstrated structural derangement of the kidney #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
Richard Bright, British physician was the first to describe edema and proteinuria as the primary clinical symptoms of kidney disorders known as Bright’s disease/nephritis in his book Reports of Medical Cases (1827)#NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
In April 1966, Dr. Cimino presented his AVF technique experience at the XII Congress of ASAIO. To his surprise,he was met with complete indifference! He recalled later,that one doctor told him “Once you get 100 patients call me.’” #NephHistory #NephTwitter https://t.co/cRtSytl9ja
The AV Fistula (also known as Cimino-Brescia fistula) procedure was invented by two Nephrologists James Cimino and M. J. Brescia in 1966. #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
Theodor Kocher, Swiss surgeon, in July 1883 transplanted thyroid tissue into a patient who had undergone radical thyroidectomy in an attempt to cure hypothyroidism- this was the 1st known modern transplant #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia #Transplant
The farthest a doctor travelled to make a dialysis visit? Dr. Satoru Nakamoto (associate of Dr.Willem Kolff) travelled from Seattle to India to perform India’s first Hemodialysis in 1962 on an erstwhile Maharaja #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
Dr.Scribner believed Kt/V and the appeal of shorter dialysis to uninformed patients and for-profit dialysis centers resulted in underdialysis of most pts, often quoted the Tassin survival results with 3Xweekly 8hr dialyzes #NephHistory #Nephtwitter #NephTrivia seminal paper👇
A selection committee at the Seattle Center decided who should/shouldn't receive dialysis. The description of this committee in Life Magazine(1962) & the ensuing discussion was the origin of bioethics as a discipline #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia https://t.co/yG7QVIsbPw
@GarySingerMD @hswapnil @drjosflynn @NEJM I have an original copy of that famous Life magazine article from 11/9/1962.
Dr.Scribner was concerned as to how dialysis could be made widely available & established the Seattle Artificial Kidney Center-the world's 1st out-of-hospital, non-profit, community-supported dialysis unit #NephHistory #NephTwitter #NephTrivia
