Читать книгу Uric Acid in Chronic Kidney Disease - Группа авторов - Страница 7

I am very grateful to the Editorial Division of Karger Publishers for choosing to publish this book in the prestigious Contributions to Nephrology series. This publication aims to achieve the widespread dissemination of recent knowledge acquired in the field of nephrology, especially in light of the cancellation of the International Satellite Symposium on Uric Acid in Chronic Renal Disease that was to be held in April 2017.

In 1979, I had the opportunity to publish the 17th volume of this series, entitled Today’s Art of Peritoneal Dialysis, following the First International Symposium on Peritoneal Dialysis held in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico in 1978. Dr. Fred S.T. Boen, who sadly passed away in 2017, was the coeditor. That publication contributed much to the global objective of improving processes related to the development of peritoneal dialysis. I sincerely hope that this latest edition will also aid the enhancement of current knowledge on this subject.

In 1979 I was just beginning my career in the field of nephrology. Now, almost 40 years later, I consider my involvement in publishing volume 192 of the series as a significant milestone in my career. I would like to express my gratitude to all the authors, especially Prof. Kunitoshi Iseki, who worked diligently to procure several chapters of this volume from other outstanding colleagues in Asia and a friendly recognition of Prof. Claudio Ronco for his interest in this field of the medicine and his enthusiastic support of this publication.
