Glenara Priom (1848, 1920) - French physician, founder of modern hepatology.
Glenara was a student of the outstanding French therapist Jacques Colin. He was educated in Paris, where he studied medicine and surgery. In 1877, he began working at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital, where he specialized in the treatment of patients with diseases of the liver and biliary tract.
In 1891, Glenara published his first scientific work on the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. In this work, he proposed a new method for diagnosing liver diseases - liver puncture. This method became very popular among doctors and was used for many years.
In addition, Glenara proposed a new classification of liver diseases, which is still used in medicine. He also developed new treatments for liver disease, such as surgical removal of bile duct stones and treatment of liver abscesses with antibiotics.
Thus, Glenara became one of the founders of modern hepatology and made significant contributions to the development of this field of medicine. His work is still used in clinical practice and is important for understanding liver diseases and their treatment.
