Thirty-six Hippocratic aphorisms of nephrologic interest.
2009
In this article, we discuss the nephrologic content within Hippocrates' Aphorisms . Although similar attempts have taken place ever since antiquity, we believe that in each era new insights may be gained by examining the aphorisms through the prism of current medical knowledge. Of the 400 aphorisms in the Hippocratic text, we discuss the 36 that we consider to be most relevant to nephrology. We conclude that these aphorisms support the concept of Hippocrates as the "Father of Clinical Nephrology."
