About Dr. Manju Aggarwal

Dr. Manju Aggarwal is the Chief of Medical Services and Chairperson of the Department of Nephrology at Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon, with more than 35 years of dedicated clinical practice in nephrology. She holds an MBBS from Lady Hardinge Medical College, an MD in Internal Medicine from Maulana Azad Medical College, and a prestigious fellowship in nephrology from the University of Minnesota Hospitals and Clinics in the USA. Her credentials are further strengthened by a Diplomate of National Board certification in nephrology and an MBA in healthcare administration from Delhi University, reflecting her dual commitment to clinical excellence and institutional leadership.

Dr. Aggarwal's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of kidney disease management: acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, dialysis programming (both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis), renal replacement therapy in critical care settings, and complex kidney transplantation. She has particular proficiency in managing highly sensitized and incompatible kidney transplants requiring desensitization protocols, as well as diagnosing and managing kidney graft dysfunction. Her work in fluids and acid-base disorders, dialysis catheter placement and management, and critical care nephrology has earned her recognition as one of India's most accomplished nephrologists. As Head of the Department of Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation at Artemis since 2012, she has overseen high-volume transplant programs and mentored numerous trainees as a designated thesis guide for DNB nephrology candidates.

International patients from the Gulf countries, Africa, and South Asia frequently seek her care for complex renal conditions and transplant-related issues. Dr. Aggarwal brings a patient-centered approach that balances cutting-edge clinical management with compassionate, individualized care. She is fluent in English and Hindi, and her team at Artemis is well-equipped to support international patients through the treatment journey. Her membership in the American Society of Nephrology, International Society of Nephrology, and Indian Society of Nephrology underscores her standing within the global nephrology community.

Artemis Hospital, located in Sector 51, Gurgaon, is a Joint Commission International (JCI)-accredited multi-specialty institution known for its advanced nephrology and transplant services, modern dialysis facilities, and dedicated ICU support. The hospital maintains robust infrastructure for managing both routine and high-risk renal conditions, with easy accessibility from Delhi and well-established international patient support services. For patients considering kidney transplantation or seeking specialized management of chronic kidney disease, Dr. Aggarwal's 35+ years of experience and Artemis's comprehensive facilities make them an ideal choice for advanced, trustworthy care in India.
