a unpaid post(such were the professional attitudes then!!)
• His mentor POLAK DANIELS was a Jew(he committed
suicide as NETHERLANDS was invaded by Nazis)
• Moved to USA, contributed significantly in refining
dialysis machines. Pioneer: first successful
hemodialysis in humans

FATHER OF DIALYSIS : THOMAS
GRAHAM(1805-1869)
Born in France
Had club foot(treated by local healer!!)
• proposed kidneys made urine by chemical
filtration(Ludwig took all the credit)
• Discovered cells which he called globules: never claimed
credit for it(Schwann and Schleiden are usually given
credit)
• Franz Volhard, a distinguished and senior German professor declared that the technique
was of little use because it did not stop renal destruction or promote renal regeneration.
• Haas was anxious to do no harm. He thought that his patients with advanced irreversible
uraemia had not really obtained much benefit from the procedure.
Discouraged by fraternity

INDIA : THE BEGINNINGS
1961
• First ever dialysis in India was done in Christian Medical College, Vellore using Kolff
“twin coil” dialyser for Shri Gopeshwar Prasad Sahi, maharaja of Hathwa.
• Dr. Satoru Nakamoto, an assistant of Dr Kolff helped Dr. Koshy in performing the
dialysis procedure.
FATHER OF INDIAN
NEPHROLOGY : MOTHER OF INDIAN NEPHROLOGY :
DR K S CHUGH(1932-2017) DR VIDYA ACHARYA (1938-2014)
• Pioneer in dialysis in India • First to start Dialysis facilities in Western
• 1963 : First hemodialysis in PGI India
• Dialysis which provides a new lease of life to millions of people has stemmed largely from the
frustration, imagination, and persistence of exceptionally creative individuals.
• Albert Lasker Award in 2002 given to Dr Kolff and Dr Scribner for their contribution in the
field of dialysis is a testimony to their efforts.
