Fifty years ago, Belding Scribner and his colleagues at the University of Washington developed a blood-access device using Teflon-coated plastic tubes, which facilitated the use of repeated hemodialysis as a life-sustaining treatment for patients with uremia.1,2 The introduction of the Scribner shunt, as it became known, soon led to the development of a variety of surgical techniques for the creation of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts. Consequently, hemodialysis has made survival possible for more than a million people throughout the world who have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with limited or no kidney function. The expansion of dialysis into a form of long-term renal-replacement therapy transformed the field of nephrology and also created a new area of medical science, which has been called the physiology of the artificial kidney. This review describes the medical, social, and economic evolution of hemodialysis therapy.
