• Acute Kidney Injury: He treats sudden loss of kidney function caused by infection, dehydration, medication or surgery, to recover kidney function where possible.
• Glomerular and Immune Kidney Disease: He diagnoses and treats glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and membranous nephropathy, often supported by kidney biopsy.

The feedback below reflects patient experiences with the care and treatment provided by Dr. Gagan Deep Chhabra. These reviews are shared to help you understand what to expect from a consultation.

• "My creatinine had been rising for two years, and no one had explained why. Dr. Chhabra thoroughly reviewed my old reports and put me on a plan. Six months later, the numbers are stable, and I understand my own condition much better."
• "We came from Lagos for my brother's kidney transplant. The work-up took longer than we expected because of a blood group mismatch, but the doctor explained every step and did not rush us. My brother was discharged on day nine and is doing well."
• "I had a fistula done by Dr. Chhabra after two failed attempts elsewhere. It has been working for over a year now without any problem. The dialysis sessions have been far less stressful since then."
• "My mother was in the ICU with sudden kidney failure, and we were told she would need permanent dialysis. Dr. Chhabra started CRRT and her kidneys recovered over three weeks. We are grateful he did not give up on her."
