A final Kidney post: Royal connections.
1973 Princess Margaret opened ward 42. With its new curtains & flowers 42 was a step up from 51/52, located in the car park! They received no Royal Visit!
1993 Princess Anne opened The Scottish Renal & @erakidney Association meetings.
He was describing 'the method of separation by diffusion through a septum of gelatinous matter' In 1861 he described the effects of dialysing urine - electrolytes went into the external water and a white mass was left - 'pure urea'.
Dr Kolff (1911-2009)who invented the 1st dialyser came to Glasgow in 1979 & is pictured here alongside the statue of Thomas Graham in George Square. Graham was a Professor Chemistry, born in Glasgow in 1805. Graham coined the term dialysis from the Greek dia - through and luein - to loosen.
The Kidney Unit at GRI dialysed its first patient in 1959. Arthur Kennedy was in charge - pictured with a biochemist & the dialysis machine (pic 1/2). It was called a Kolff Kidney after it's inventor, Dr W.J. Kolff. The Kolff kidney was last used in Glasgow in 1974 (pic3/4).

The writer had been given some free samples for their patients. Perhaps there was some bias, perhaps not?
