Dr. Md. Zakir Hossain

Dr. Md. Zakir Hossain is an Assistant Professor of Nephrology with an MBBS degree and an MD in Nephrology. His specialty centres on diseases affecting the kidneys and the medical assessment of patients with impaired kidney function. Nephrology care may include investigating abnormal laboratory results, monitoring chronic kidney disease and evaluating complications linked to other long-term health conditions.

A kidney problem does not always cause pain or obvious discomfort. Some people first learn about a possible issue after routine blood tests show raised creatinine levels or urine tests detect protein. Others may experience swelling around the ankles, changes in urination or persistent tiredness. These signs can have different causes, so proper evaluation is needed rather than relying on symptoms alone. A specialist may review kidney function, blood pressure, urine results and the patient's medical history before recommending further tests or treatment.

Dr. Hossain's listed chamber is the National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU), Dhaka. Patients preparing for a visit can bring recent blood and urine reports, previous prescriptions, imaging results and a list of medicines they use. People with diabetes or high blood pressure should also share relevant records, as these conditions can affect kidney health and influence follow-up care.

His MD qualification reflects specialist training in nephrology, while his position as Assistant Professor identifies his professional role. Anyone planning to consult him at NIKDU should verify the current appointment arrangements and visiting schedule before travelling. For people already diagnosed with kidney disease, regular monitoring and following the prescribed treatment plan can help track changes in kidney function.
