Dr. Hasan Mahmud

Dr. Hasan Mahmud is an Assistant Professor of Nephrology with a medical degree from Dhaka, a BCS (Health) qualification, an MD in Nephrology and a CCD from BIRDEM. His listed areas of focus include kidney health, with additional training relevant to diabetes care. These fields often overlap because diabetes can affect the small blood vessels in the kidneys and increase the risk of chronic kidney disease over time.

People with diabetes or high blood pressure may benefit from regular kidney monitoring, even when they feel well. Blood and urine tests can help detect changes that are not immediately noticeable. Patients may also seek medical advice for swelling in the feet, altered urination or abnormal kidney function results. The cause of these symptoms varies, so a proper assessment is needed to determine whether further investigations or treatment are appropriate.

Dr. Mahmud's listed chamber is the National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU), Dhaka. Patients attending a consultation can bring recent creatinine and eGFR results, urine reports, blood sugar records and previous prescriptions. A list of current medicines is also useful, particularly for those managing diabetes, hypertension or an existing kidney condition. These records can help the doctor review earlier findings and understand how the patient's health has changed.

His MD in Nephrology supports his specialist background in kidney medicine, while the CCD qualification relates to diabetes care. Anyone planning to visit NIKDU should check the current appointment procedure and consultation schedule before travelling. Patients should continue prescribed medication as directed and discuss any concerns or possible side effects with their healthcare provider.
