This volume emphasizes the comparative approach to under standing
vertebrate renal function. I am convinced that this approach is of
particular value in understanding both the details of renal
function at the cellular and subcellular levels and the renal role
in regulating fluid volumes and solute concentrations. My exposure
to this approach first occurred during a student research
experience in the laboratory of Wilbur H. Sawyer, who also provided
an introduction to the works of Homer W. Smith and August Krogh.
The importance of this approach was reinforced by doctoral and
postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Bodil Schmidt-Nielsen.
It has been confirmed through years of personal experience since
then. My research and my understanding of renal function have been
aided through the years by collaboration and discussion with
numerous students and associates. Of particular impor tance in
developing my views on comparative renal function, and especially
on the relationship of structure to function, has been my long
association with my colleague and friend, Eldon J. Braun. Donald S.
Farner, who suggested the writing of this volume, provided valuable
editorial assistance. Much of my personal research in this area has
been supported over the years by grants from the United States
National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. The
writing of this volume was completed while I was in Wiirzburg,
Federal Republic of Germany, supported by a Senior U.S. Scientist
Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation."
