Geoffrey Berlyne, whom we honor in this Festschrift, has contributed much to the modern understanding of diseases of the kidney, and of the clinical and metabolic disorders that occur in acute and chronic renal failure. The Festschrift highlights the many areas of his contributions. It is important to note that underlying them all is astute clinical observation, incisive analysis and reasoning, a breadth of approach, experimentation that facilitated understanding of the relevant clinical issues, and an unusual clarity of exposition in the literature. As author, editor, and teacher, Geoffrey Berlyne has brought this clarity of approach to a generation in nephrology. The following analysis of clinical data from a working dialysis unit, rendering care to a predominantly underprivileged patient population, is presented in the hope that it throws light on everyday problems in nephrology in a manner similar to that in which Geoffrey has guided the nephrology community.
我们在这本纪念文集里缅怀杰弗里·伯利恩,他为现代对肾脏疾病以及急慢性肾衰竭中出现的临床和代谢紊乱的理解做出了诸多贡献。这本纪念文集突出了他的众多贡献领域。需要指出的是,所有这些贡献的基础是敏锐的临床观察、深刻的分析与推理、广泛的研究方法、有助于理解相关临床问题的实验,以及文献中非同寻常的清晰阐述。作为作者、编辑和教师,杰弗里·伯利恩将这种清晰的方法带给了一代肾脏病学专业人士。以下是对一个主要为贫困患者群体提供治疗的透析工作单元的临床数据的分析,希望它能以类似于杰弗里指导肾脏病学界的方式,阐明肾脏病学中的日常问题。
