“…Until 1940, FL’s studies, addressing almost exclusively the kidney, were widely quoted not only in medical journals but also in textbooks [ 24–26 ]. Then, almost suddenly, this enterprising scientist, pioneer in the studies of kidney function, disappeared from the nephrological scene, where his name, with very few exceptions, was afterwards completely forgotten [ 27 ]. To find an explanation to this forgetfulness we must address FL’s biography.…”

It is known to few that the path to the discovery of the long-denied plasma creatinine and its clearance was long and difficult. For quite a long time, related controversies between different groups of researchers were widespread and heated. The scientists who have dealt with the related problems are among the most famous of the last century and some of them are part of the history of medicine. Giovanni Ferro-Luzzi (FL), an Italian clinician, was one of these researchers. He was among the first to detect and dose plasma creatinine and the first ever to measure the clearance of endogenous creatinine (CrCl). Unfortunately, due to a series of unforeseeable events, he has been completely forgotten together with his undertakings. In this review we retrace the steps that led to the measurement of plasma creatinine, and CrCl. With brief biographical notes we try to explain the oblivion of this important figure and of his nephrological accomplishments.
