Dr. Nikhil Bhasin — Consultant Nephrologist and Renal Transplant Physician in Mumbai

Dr. Nikhil Bhasin is a Consultant Nephrologist and Renal Transplant Physician at Wockhardt Hospital in Mumbai, with more than 5 years of experience.

His list covers chronic kidney disease and glomerulonephritis, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, percutaneous renal biopsy, and transplant care from pre-transplant evaluation through post-transplant follow-up and graft dysfunction management.

His qualifications are unusually many for the length of his career. After MBBS he took an MD in internal medicine as a gold medallist, then both specialist qualifications in nephrology, the DM and the DNB, so the subject was examined twice. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Nephrology.

Two further attachments extend that training beyond India. He held a clinical fellowship at the University of Toronto, and a fellowship in glomerular disease with GlomCon in the USA. Glomerular disease is the group of conditions in which the filtering units of the kidney are damaged, and it is diagnosed by biopsy and treated with immune-suppressing drugs rather than by dialysis, so a dedicated fellowship in it sits directly behind the glomerulonephritis and renal biopsy on his list.

A gold medal in internal medicine, two nephrology qualifications, an American fellowship and two international attachments within five years of practice describe a physician whose training has been front-loaded rather than accumulated gradually.

He practises at Wockhardt Hospitals in South Mumbai at Mumbai Central.
