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!

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).

Figure 3. Association of Achieving Target Serum Urate Level (TSUL) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Progression in Participants With Gout and CKD Stage 3
Strange study of the day
Target trial emulation of urate lowering therapy in peeps with gout and CKD
Reaching uric level < 6 looks like it’s associated with less ESRD and CKD progression right?
Wrong!
