Obviously, the application of this technique is leading to considerable advances in our understanding of renal disease. This part of the Proceedings is highly recommended as a ready source of current information and thinking in this rapidly advancing and useful field. Two warnings, however, are in order. The first is best illustrated by a direct quotation of Dr. Jean Oliver during a discussion period, "Of course, all these revelations are most wonderful.
