The authors present a brief history of the activities of 7 important and well-known foreign nephrologists in Kosice and in the region of Eastern Slovakia who were awarded the honorary title Doctor Honoris Causa by P. J. Safárik University in Kosice. The above-mentioned professors presented their papers as guest professors to the students of the Medical Faculty of P. J.

All of the awarded nephrologists have visited the Faculty Hospital of L. Pasteur, the Fourth Internal Clinic and the Nephrological Clinic.
