About Dr. Mahesh Kota

Dr. Mahesh Kota is a Consultant Nephrologist with over 8 years of clinical experience, currently practicing at Yashoda Hospitals in Hi-Tech City, Hyderabad. He holds an MD in General Medicine, an Indian Diploma of Critical Care Medicine (IDCCM), and a DNB in Nephrology, combining deep expertise in both renal disease management and critical care. This unique qualification set allows him to approach complex kidney disorders with precision, particularly in acutely unwell patients requiring intensive support.

Dr. Kota's clinical practice encompasses the full spectrum of nephrology: chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, acute kidney injury, and advanced dialysis modalities including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. He specializes in glomerulonephritis treatment, pre-transplant kidney evaluation, and post-transplant follow-up care—areas where his critical care training proves invaluable. His research interests extend to critical care nephrology and onco-nephrology, with presentations at leading international forums including ERA-EDTA (Milan), AKI-CRRT (San Diego), and APCN-KSN (Seoul), reflecting his commitment to advancing the field.

Dr. Kota has built a strong reputation treating international patients, drawing referrals from across the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia. He is fluent in English, Hindi, and Telugu, ensuring clear communication with diverse patient populations. Patients particularly value his methodical approach to kidney graft dysfunction and his expertise in extracorporeal therapies such as CRRT and ECMO—critical interventions in complex renal failure cases.
