Why Kidney Patients in Pune Trust Dr Saurabh Khiste

Kidney disease is a condition where early, accurate management can make the difference between preserving kidney function and needing dialysis or a transplant. Dr Khiste brings both the medical training and the focused kidney expertise to guide patients through every stage. His dual DNB in General Medicine and Nephrology provides both a strong medical foundation and dedicated kidney specialisation, while his European Specialty Examination (ESENeph, UK) in 2023 confirms his knowledge has been independently tested against European nephrology standards.

His Gold Medal for Best Nephrology Thesis from SVIMS University and four published research papers in 2023 (covering transplant surgery in challenging anatomy, post-COVID kidney complications, and TB mimicking kidney disease) confirm active academic engagement. His ISN, ISOT, and API memberships keep him connected with the nephrology, transplant, and physician communities.
