个人简介
Among his contributions as a researcher and clinician-scientist in pediatric nephrology are: the first use of captopril in children to treat high blood pressure and diabetic kidney problems; the first use of calcitriol to treat children with renal osteodystrophy, a bone disease that occurs when kidneys do not maintain proper calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood; and a decade long NIH-sponsored collaborative study to look at the use of antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections in children with vesicoureteral reflux, a condition that occurs when urine from the bladder flows backward into the kidneys.
Dr. Chesney also used his knowledge of taurine amino acid and vitamin D to support the addition of taurine to human infant formulas and to help treat polar bear cubs in zoos around the country. He discovered that distortion of the polar bear cub bones, or rickets, was being caused because the cows’ milk they were given did not contain the same amounts of taurine and vitamin D found in polar bear milk. Polar bear cubs in zoos get extra taurine today, thanks to Dr. Chesney.
