Dr. Parmod Mittal — Principal Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Parmod Mittal is Principal Consultant for Nephrology and Renal Care at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 23 years of experience.

His list covers the medical kidney, the dialysis circuit and the transplant. The medical work is chronic kidney disease management, acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and percutaneous renal biopsy. The dialysis work is haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, dialysis catheter placement and management, AV fistula creation and AV fistula surveillance. The transplant work is pre-transplant evaluation, post-transplant follow-up and immunosuppression management.

Making and then watching an AV fistula is the part of that list patients live with longest, since it is the access through which years of dialysis are delivered, and surveillance is what keeps it working.

He read MBBS and took his MD in medicine at PGIMS in Rohtak, the PDCDM at R and R Hospital in Delhi, and his DM in nephrology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.

One entry on his record is about access to care rather than clinical practice. He was instrumental in establishing two dialysis centres in Delhi through public-private partnership, which his profile describes as enhancing affordable renal care access, and he has received a Health Care Excellence Award for his contributions to kidney care services.

He is a life member of the Indian Society of Nephrology, of its North Zone chapter and of the Delhi Nephrology Society, and practises at Medanta — The Medicity in Gurugram.
