Robert W Schrier, an influential observer from outside Hepatology (1936 –2021)

Robert William Schrier, one of the greatest nephrologists of all time, died on January 23, 2021. He is survived by his beloved wife Barbara, his five children and a number of grandchildren. It is not common that a top specialty journal publishes an obituary about a physician from another specialty, unless he/she has made exceptional contributions to the field. This is the case of Robert W Schrier whose vision from the Nephrology field provided important clues to unveil some very relevant pathophysiological “mysteries” of Hepatology, on the formation of ascites and edema and the development of kidney abnormalities in liver diseases.
