About Dr. Dinesh Khullar

Dr. Dinesh Khullar is Group Chairman of Nephrology & Renal Transplant Medicine at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, New Delhi, and one of India's most respected nephrologists. With over 35 years of clinical experience, he has built a career on excellence in kidney disease management, transplantation, and patient care. His academic credentials—MBBS and MD from DMC & Hospital, Ludhiana, and DM (Nephrology) from PGIMER, Chandigarh—reflect his deep grounding in internal medicine and renal specialisation.

Dr. Khullar's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of nephrology: chronic kidney disease management, both haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, glomerulonephritis, and lupus nephritis. He is internationally recognised for his pioneering work in complex kidney transplantation, particularly ABO-incompatible kidney transplants and management of highly sensitised transplant recipients. His focus on immunosuppression management and kidney graft dysfunction ensures long-term graft survival and patient quality of life. The breadth of his practice—from pre-transplant evaluation through post-transplant follow-up—makes him a comprehensive resource for kidney patients at every stage.

Dr. Khullar regularly treats international patients from the Gulf, Africa, and South Asia who seek his expertise in transplant medicine and dialysis management. His ability to communicate in English and Hindi, combined with his calm, patient-centred approach, has made him a trusted physician for patients navigating complex renal conditions across borders.
