About Dr. Suman Lata
Dr. Suman Lata is Head of Department and Consultant Nephrologist at Manipal Hospital Dwarka in New Delhi, specializing in comprehensive kidney disease management and renal transplantation. With over 20 years of clinical experience, she holds an MBBS, MD in Internal Medicine, and DM in Nephrology from Government Medical College, complemented by an international fellowship in renal transplantation from St George's Healthcare NHS Trust in London (2011). She is a Fellow of the Indian Society of Nephrology (FISN, 2019) and an active member of the International Society of Nephrology, positioning her among India's leading renal specialists.
Dr. Lata's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of nephrology, from diabetic and hypertensive kidney disease to autoimmune conditions such as lupus nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. She is particularly recognized as an expert in ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation—a complex procedure requiring advanced immunological knowledge—and manages all forms of renal replacement therapy including haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and slow low-efficiency dialysis (SLED). Her critical care nephrology experience enables her to handle acute kidney injury in intensive care settings and hepato-renal syndrome, while her vascular access expertise ensures optimal dialysis catheter placement and management.
International patients from the Gulf Cooperation Council states, Africa, and South Asian countries regularly seek her care for complex kidney conditions and transplantation. Dr. Lata combines evidence-based protocols with personalized treatment plans, ensuring that patients receive culturally sensitive and linguistically comfortable consultations in English and Hindi. Her department at Manipal Hospital Dwarka is equipped to provide comprehensive pre- and post-transplant care, making it an ideal destination for patients requiring advanced renal services.
Manipal Hospital Dwarka is a NABH-accredited tertiary care centre with a dedicated nephrology unit, state-of-the-art dialysis facilities, and a robust international patient support team. The hospital's proximity to New Delhi's international airport and access to advanced imaging, pathology, and surgical infrastructure make it a trusted hub for renal care in South Asia. International patients benefit from transparent cost structures, English-speaking support staff, and comprehensive follow-up protocols that ensure continuity of care back home.
