Abstract

In the last issue of “Forum Nefrologiczne” (FN), we presented the life and professional activity of the eminent Polish nephrologist and transplantologist, Prof. Mieczysław Lao. In the current issue of FN, the authors present the figure of another honorary mem­ber of the Polish Society of Nephrology (PTN), an outstanding Austrian nephrologist, Professor Walter Hörl. Professor Hörl worked scientifically in almost all areas of nephrology, from clinical nephrology to all types of renal replacement therapy, haemodialy­sis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. He managed one of the largest nephrology centres in Europe. He was an excellent doctor as well as an academic teacher. He made a great contribution to the development of nephrology not only in Germany and Austria, but also throughout Europe and the whole world. He was honoured with many awards and prizes for his great scientific achievements. W. Hörl visited Poland and young Polish doctors would hold scholarships in his clinic. One of the distinctions is the title of an honorary PTN member given to the Professor by the Society for outstanding contribution to the development of nephrology.
