54 years in nephrology, and Doctor D. K. Agarwal is still actively practicing at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Delhi. He completed his MBBS in 1985, followed by his MD in 1988, and then DNB in nephrology in 1993 — all from Agra University and the National Board of Examinations in India. That’s a fairly structured, layered path into a specialty that requires a lot of precision, and it shows in the range of work he’s handled since.
Doctor D. K. Agarwal has served as a senior consultant at some genuinely well-regarded institutions, including Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences and Sanjay Gandhi PGIMS, before settling into his current role at Indraprastha Apollo. His clinical focus covers kidney transplants, hemodialysis, CAPD, and critical kidney cases — the kind of work that often involves high-stakes decisions where experience really counts. He was also a gold medalist during his academic years, has published more than 59 papers, and is an active member of both the Indian Medical Association and the Indian Society of Organ Transplantation.
For patients navigating kidney disease, dialysis decisions, or transplant options, this level of academic and clinical background offers a lot of reassurance. He’s fluent in both English and Hindi, which makes consultations easier for a wider range of patients coming through Delhi.
