Dr. Senthil Kumar S — Consultant Nephrologist in Chennai

Dr. Senthil Kumar S is a Consultant Nephrologist at Rela Hospital in Chennai, with more than 16 years of experience in nephrology.

His list covers chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, lupus nephritis and polycystic kidney disease, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, dialysis catheter placement, percutaneous renal biopsy, and transplant care from pre-transplant evaluation through follow-up and graft dysfunction management.

His training crossed three states. He read MBBS at Grant Medical College in Mumbai under Maharashtra University of Health Science between 2004 and 2010, took his MD in general medicine at Rajah Muthiah Medical College, Annamalai University, in Chidambaram from 2014 to 2017, and the DNB in nephrology at Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre in Madurai from 2018 to 2021. In February 2022 he passed the European Specialty Examination in Nephrology, conducted jointly by the Royal College of Physicians in the UK and ERA-EDTA.

Three further items on his record are courses rather than degrees, and each adds a distinct skill: the ISN-ANIO clinical nephropathology course run through 2019, a research methodology workshop of the Indian Society of Nephrology in late 2020, and the AVATAR interventional nephrology conference in September 2020. Nephropathology, research method and interventional technique cover the reading, the writing and the procedural sides of the specialty.

He secured multiple awards in paper presentations at clinical society meetings held at MMHRC, and has worked at Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospital and Bharath Medical College in Chennai, at Meenakshi Mission Hospital in Madurai, and at Jupiter Hospital in Thane and Jeevanti Hospital in Ambernath.
