Overview

Chester M. Edelmann Jr., MD (1930–2013), was a leading figure in pediatric nephrology and served at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he became Senior Associate Dean and a distinguished professor of pediatrics. His work helped define the developing field of kidney disease and renal physiology in children. With Adrian Spitzer, he co-authored the 1969 review “The maturing kidney,” an important early synthesis of developmental renal physiology.
