Dr. Dharmesh Kapoor is a Consultant Hepatologist at Yashoda Hospitals in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, with over 18 years of dedicated experience in clinical and transplant hepatology. He holds an MD in Internal Medicine, a DM in Gastroenterology, and is a Member of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP), positioning him as a rigorously trained specialist in complex liver disease management.

Dr. Kapoor has developed deep clinical expertise in managing the full spectrum of hepatic conditions—including chronic hepatitis B and C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver cirrhosis, autoimmune liver diseases, portal hypertension, and refractory ascites. He is a prolific contributor to hepatology research and education, having published over 50 peer-reviewed articles in national and international journals and authored more than 15 book chapters. Notably, he has co-authored national clinical guidelines on the management of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, nutrition in chronic liver disease, and acute liver failure, and has contributed to the prestigious Asia Pacific Association for the Study of Liver (APASL) Guidelines on Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure—a recognition of his standing within the international hepatology community.

Dr. Kapoor regularly treats patients from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Africa, and South Asia, bringing a patient-centric approach that combines evidence-based medicine with cultural sensitivity. He is fluent in English, Hindi, and Telugu, which facilitates seamless communication with international patients seeking hepatology care in India.
