Dr. Tej K. Mattoo, professor and chief of pediatric nephrology at Wayne State University's School of Medicine, recently received more than $1.7 million from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health to continue the project, "Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children." These new funds will allow Mattoo to continue a study started in 2005 that is examining if long-term antibiotics are necessary in children with vesicoureteral reflux. Mattoo is leading the study in Detroit with six additional institutions participating at study sites across the country.
