    • Vision:

    There is a large unmet need in Paediatric Nephrology in India. Very few children with renal problems actually consult a Paediatric Nephrologist. There is a lack of knowledge among the public & doctors about Paediatric kidney ailments. As a Paediatric Nephrologist, Dr. Nitin aims to create awareness among the general public, Paediatricians & also other doctors who regularly manage children regarding the renal problems that afflict children, the various presentations of the same, tools for early identification, and the various treatment options available. He intends to develop Paediatric Nephrology as a specialty at NU Hospital so that in conjunction with the Paediatric-Urology team, the vast unmet need in these fields can be addressed.

    Dr. Nitin is a life member of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics & Indian Society of Paediatric Nephrology & a member of the International Paediatric Nephrology Association.

He has independently managed children with the difficult nephrotic syndrome, acute nephritis, renal vasculitis, acute kidney injury & chronic kidney disease. He has monitored children on both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. He is competent in procedures such as renal biopsies, acute peritoneal dialysis & hemodialysis catheter insertions. He has worked up patients for renal transplant and followed them up after the transplant.

    Dr. Nitin is conversant in 5 Indian languages and believes that communicating with patients in their mother-tongue helps in building a good rapport with them. A cheerful countenance, diligence, compassion and clear communication are his strengths.

    Interests:

    Dr. Nitin has developed a special interest in tubular disorders. His other fields of interest are chronic kidney disease & Paediatric hypertension.
