Dr. Col Akhil Mishra V S M — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Col Akhil Mishra V S M is a Senior Consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 38 years of experience. His profile records nephrology together with kidney transplant work.

His list covers chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, lupus nephritis and polycystic kidney disease, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, percutaneous renal biopsy, kidney transplant surgery and living donor transplantation, and transplant care from pre-transplant evaluation through post-transplant follow-up.

His training was entirely within the military medical system. He read MBBS and took his MD in internal medicine at the Armed Forces Medical College in Pune, and his DM in nephrology at Army Hospital Research and Referral in Delhi. He also holds the DNB in nephrology, MNAMS and FIAMS, so his specialty was examined twice and recognised by two academies.

The letters after his name include one that is not a qualification. The Vishisht Seva Medal was awarded to him by the President of India for distinguished service, a decoration given for the conduct of duty rather than for clinical results.

His research has been recognised on both sides of that career. He received a best research paper award from the Indian Society of Nephrology and a gold medal for research presentation at Army Hospital Research and Referral, and his record notes further awards for academic contributions and clinical excellence from national medical forums and military medical conferences.

He now practises at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Sarita Vihar, New Delhi.
