Dr. Amit Prakash Nagarik — Senior Consultant in Mumbai

Dr. Amit Prakash Nagarik is a Senior Consultant at Medicover Hospital, Navi Mumbai, in Mumbai, with more than 22 years of experience in nephrology.

His list covers chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and polycystic kidney disease, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, dialysis catheter placement and management, AV fistula creation and surveillance, percutaneous renal biopsy, and transplant care from pre-transplant evaluation through follow-up and immunosuppression management.

He holds an MD in medicine and the DNB in nephrology, and four further periods of training abroad and in India shape the rest of his record. Two are ISPD fellowships in peritoneal dialysis, one at SGPGI in Lucknow and one at Tung Wah Hospital in Hong Kong. The third is an ISN fellowship at Leicester General Hospital in the United Kingdom, and the fourth a visiting fellowship at UCSD Medical Centre in San Diego.

Taking the peritoneal dialysis fellowship twice, in two countries, is the clearest signal on his record. Peritoneal dialysis is the home-based alternative to hospital haemodialysis, and it depends on training patients as much as on treating them.

His awards come from the same field. He received the B. Braun Medical Trust Foundation Scholar Award for outstanding achievement in nephrology, and a development award at the Asia Pacific Congress of Nephrology.

Four international attachments across three continents, on a list that runs from acute kidney injury through dialysis access to transplant follow-up, describe a nephrologist whose training was gathered in several systems. He practises at Medicover Hospitals in Navi Mumbai.
