Dr. Dinesh Bansal — Chief of Nephrology (Unit III) in Delhi NCR

Dr. Dinesh Bansal is Chief of Nephrology for Unit III at Artemis Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 15 years of experience. His profile records nephrology together with kidney transplant work.

His list is almost entirely transplant and access work. The transplant side covers kidney transplant surgery, living donor and ABO-incompatible transplantation, pre-transplant evaluation, post-transplant follow-up and immunosuppression management. The access and dialysis side covers haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, dialysis catheter placement and management, AV fistula creation and AV fistula surveillance.

He read MBBS at Maulana Azad Medical College in Delhi, took his MD in internal medicine at the University College of Medical Sciences, and his DM in nephrology at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh. His advanced training in interventional nephrology was taken in London and Chicago.

Interventional nephrology is the sub-field that covers catheters and fistulas, the procedures by which dialysis is actually delivered, and training in it abroad is what puts fistula creation and surveillance on a nephrologist's own list rather than referring them to a surgeon.

His memberships are evenly split between Indian and international bodies: the Indian Society of Nephrology and the Indian Society of Transplantation at home, and the American Society of Nephrology, the International Society of Nephrology and The Transplantation Society abroad. Two transplant societies, one Indian and one international, sit behind a list on which ABO-incompatible transplantation appears.

He practises at Artemis Hospitals in Gurugram.
