Dr. Shri Ram Kabra — Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Shri Ram Kabra is Director of the Department of Nephrology and Kidney Transplant Medicine at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, in Delhi NCR, with more than 22 years of experience. His profile records nephrology together with kidney transplant work.

His list covers chronic kidney disease and polycystic kidney disease, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation, and transplant care from pre-transplant evaluation through post-transplant follow-up and graft dysfunction management. Graft dysfunction is the part of that list that decides how long a transplant lasts, and it sits at the centre of a practice defined as transplant medicine rather than transplant surgery.

He read MBBS, took his MD in general medicine at Safdurjang Hospital in New Delhi in 2001, and the DNB at the Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute in New Delhi in 2008. Seven years between those two qualifications, with the second taken at a dedicated institute, is the path of a physician who moved into the specialty after establishing himself in general medicine.

His hospital record runs through Faridabad and Delhi. He has previously worked at Sarvodaya Hospital and Research Centre and Asia Central Hospital in Faridabad, at Shanti Mukund Hospital, and at the Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute where he trained. He now directs the department at Marengo Asia Hospital in Faridabad and also practises at Marengo Asia Hospitals in Gurugram.

ABO-incompatible transplantation on his list means his service takes on donor and recipient pairs whose blood groups do not match, which requires the recipient to be prepared before the operation can go ahead.
