Frederick William Pavy (29 May 1829 – 19 September 1911) was a British physician and physiologist and the discoverer of Pavy's disease, a cyclic or recurrent physiologic albuminuria. He was born in Wroughton in Wiltshire and educated at Merchant Taylors' School. He entered Guy's Hospital in 1847. There he worked with Richard Bright in the study of Bright's disease or kidney failure. He graduated as M.B. after five years from the University of London and M.D. the following year. He became Lecturer of Anatomy at Guy's in 1854 and of Physiology in 1856. In 1859 he was appointed Assistant Physician at Guy's and full Physician in 1871. He was a leading expert in diabetes, and spent almost 20 years trying to disprove Claude Bernard's theory of the glycogen-glucose metabolic cycle. His 1862 paper "Researches on the Nature and Treatment of Diabetes" was, for many years, the definitive guide to the condition.〔Algeo M, ''Pedestrianism: When Watching People Walk was America's Favorite Sport'', Chicago Review Press, 2014〕 He was made president of the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London in 1893 and President of the Pathological Society of London〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Transactions of the Pathological Society )〕 the same year.
