Abstract
It is an established fact that no other branch of medicine has undergone as rapid or as astonishing an amount of growth as has the field of nephrology during the past two decades. In 1960, the field was characterized by a loose association of anatomists, physiologists, pathologists, and internists who were interested in the structure and function of the kidney in health and disease. They were soon joined by a small but growing group of immunologists and pediatricians who were chiefly concerned with renal immunopathogenic and pathophysiologic mechanisms. The main thrust of the specialty concerned itself with diagnosis of renal disease and treatment of the pathophysiologic consequences of the various forms of renal dysfunction.
