Abstract

In this chapter we have attempted to briefly review selected high points in the development of dialysis therapy for children, focusing on the ingenuity and resourcefulness of some of the early pioneers. It is an exciting story. We have left to the chapters that follow a detailed description of these innovations. Our goal is to place them in historical context, acknowledging the debt owed those pioneering pediatric nephrologists, nurses, engineers, dieticians, and social workers and their young patients and their families whose efforts have helped make a complex and life-sustaining therapy a part of routine medical management for children throughout the world.
