Dr. Shyam Bihari Bansal — Vice Chairman in Delhi NCR

Dr. Shyam Bihari Bansal is Vice Chairman of the Institute of Nephrology and Kidney Transplant at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 20 years of experience in nephrology.

His list is built around transplantation and dialysis. It covers ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation, pre-transplant evaluation, post-transplant follow-up, immunosuppression management and graft dysfunction, alongside haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, dialysis catheter placement and management, chronic kidney disease management, acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis and percutaneous renal biopsy.

He holds MBBS, an MD in general medicine and a DM in nephrology, and trained in nephrology at SGPGIMS Lucknow. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, a Fellow of the American Society of Nephrology since 2020, and a Fellow of the Indian Society of Nephrology since 2016.

Two figures on his record describe the scale of the work. He has managed over 3,000 kidney transplant recipients, and has more than 140 published papers carrying over 17,600 citations. A citation count of that size means his work is being built on by other groups rather than only added to the literature.

He has been invited faculty at WCN, ADA, ERA and TTS, four of the meetings where transplant and kidney practice is set internationally, and has served as Honorary Secretary of the Delhi Nephrology Society since 2017. His Best Oral Paper Award at the Indian Society of Nephrology conference in 2005 was for work on treating hepatitis C infection in kidney transplant recipients.
