Prostaglandins and the Kidney - Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Clinical Applications (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1983)

Supplementary support was also received from Ciba Geigy S. p. A. , Ente Fiuggi, Farmitalia Carlo Erba S. p. A. , Glaxo Laboratori S. p. A. , Hoechst Italia S. p.

The efficient organization of the symposium was largely attributable to the superb efforts of Elisabeth Mutschlechner and Miki Scarinci of C. K. International, Rome. Linda Goldberg provided expert and invaluable editorial and secretarial assistance in the organization of this book. The book is divided into four major sections comprising: I.
