Extracellular volume in nocturnal hemodialysis

We have only had the opportunity to interact personally with Frank Gotch du ring the past few years but have long appreciated his thorough understandin g of the technical and mathematical aspects of dialysis through his writing s and national presentations. His articles on these subjects are the defini tive, authoritative sources. Dr. Gotch's modus operandi of modeling is comp rehensive mathematical analysis with a strong basis in physiological princi ples. Furthermore, his approach emphasizes tools that can be used bg clinic al nephrologists in their daily practice. We believe that these are essenti al components of a strong research career in dialysis and serve as an excel lent goal for subsequent generations of dialysis investigators.
