William Cumberland Cruikshank (1745 in Edinburgh – 27 June 1800) was a British physician and anatomist. He was the author of The Anatomy of the Absorbing Vessels of the Human Body, which was first published in 1786.[1][2]
He went to London in 1771 and became assistant to William Hunter in his anatomical work.[1] In 1797, he was the first to demonstrate that a particular crystallizable substance exists in the urine and is precipitated from it by nitric acid.[3]
