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).
