I have worked in Nephrology for 8 years. During my subspeciality training I did rotational postings in wards, out patients, consultation services, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal transplant services.
I have been trained in management of patients with various renal problems such as acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, nephritic syndrome, acid base and electrolyte disorders, CAPD and transplant patients. I have been exposed to routine and emergency management of patients admitted in other specialties with associated renal problems. I have also been trained in management of all renal emergencies.
As a dialysis resident I gained experience in managing patients on hemodialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy in the ICU setting, plasmapheresis and peritoneal dialysis. I have also independently performed kidney biopsies and insertion of haemodialysis vascular access (femoral and jugular catheterization and arterio-venous fistula procedures).
