Dr. Christopher Blagg, a pioneering nephrologist originally trained in Britain, began working in acute dialysis in 1958 at the University of Leeds, where one of the United Kingdom’s earliest dialysis programs had been established. In 1963, he traveled to Seattle to study under Dr. Belding Scribner, joining a small group at the forefront of chronic dialysis innovation. This interview, recorded in January 2008, reflects on the formative years of dialysis therapy and traces Dr. Blagg’s distinguished career, including his enduring advocacy for home dialysis as a means of improving patient outcomes and independence.
