Le résumé fourni par la source

This article, written by several authors, describes the birth and early development of the nephrology at Molinette Hospital in Torino, Italy. In particular, it supplies important information on Antonio Vercellone, very motivated and innovative clinician and one of the fathers of Italian nephrology, and on Giuseppe Piccoli, his right-hand man and then his successor. This article also shows the strong professional and human engagement that was requested to the young doctors who, in the early Sixties and Seventies of the past century, had chosen to devote their professional lives to the patients with kidney diseases: from endless workdays without schedules to the anguish caused by the shortage of artificial kidneys to the cure of very fragile and unfortunate patients, and much more.
