Antiglobulins, cryoglobulins and glomerulonephritis Second International Milano Meeting of Nephrology 30 September – 1 October 1985

RICHARD J. GLASSOCK Introducing a scientific symposium is an uncertain and difficult task. The remarks must not be too specific lest the participant's later contributions be intruded upon, yet an overview of the goals and objectives of the conference should be presented in an inquisitive and st...
