In preparation

To include:

• Early accounts that weren’t picked up of proteinuria
• Bright 1827: proteinuria, and the invention of nephrology.
• Followers of Bright: Christison – inc spontaneous remission prot, exertional haematuria and proteinuria, and Pavy on postural proteinuria.
• First accounts of infectious GN (relate to Pierre Rayer) – Christison lecture on Bright’s disease
• Dickinson 1867 – Acute nephritis 50 years after Bright – this presentation now well recognised
• Mahomed’s sphygmograph 1870s makes measurement of blood pressure possible. At first really just as a research technique, but it enabled a link to be drawn between blood pressure and kidney disease. (Note Hales and BP in horse is 18th century)
• Ischuria renalis and AKI accounts
