Personal and Historical Perspectives Franz Volhard in Historical Perspective

چکیده
Franz Volhard was the dominant German clinician in the first half of this century. His work placed the classification of renal disease on a firm, pathologically oriented footing and gave the syndrome of uremia meaning in terms of not only renal dysfunction but also with respect to the participation of other organ systems. Furthermore, Volhard elucidated the pathogenesis of hypertension and stimulated important research. George Pickering and Irvine Page, both critical and discerning individuals who did not dispense praise lightly, recognized the contributions and qualities of Franz Volhard. "If I had to pick one person as having been the most influential in developing the field (ie, hypertension), I would without hesitation select Franz Volhard," Page wrote. "He had an engaging 'Falstaffian' sense of humor, perceptiveness, and ample common sense," Pickering noted.
