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.
