Prof. Dr. Dilip Kumar Roy

Prof. Dr. Dilip Kumar Roy is a Professor of Nephrology with advanced qualifications in internal medicine and kidney care. His credentials include MBBS, FCPS in Medicine, MD in Nephrology and a Senior Fellowship in Nephrology from Singapore. His professional field covers the evaluation and medical management of kidney disorders, from changes in kidney function to conditions that require regular monitoring and long-term treatment.

People may need nephrology care for several reasons, such as persistently abnormal kidney tests, protein in the urine, kidney inflammation or complications associated with diabetes and high blood pressure. Some kidney conditions develop without obvious symptoms, making regular testing particularly relevant for people with known risk factors. During an assessment, a specialist may review blood pressure, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine findings and previous medical records to understand the patient's condition.

Prof. Roy's listed chamber is the National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU), Dhaka. Patients preparing for a consultation can bring recent blood and urine reports, ultrasound findings, prescriptions and a list of medicines they currently take. Details of previous hospital admissions or kidney-related treatment may also help the doctor review the progression of a condition and consider the next steps in care.

His training in medicine and nephrology, along with his senior fellowship in Singapore, forms part of his professional background in kidney health. Patients planning to visit NIKDU should confirm the appointment procedure and consultation schedule in advance. Those already receiving treatment for kidney disease should continue their prescribed care and follow the monitoring plan advised by their healthcare team.
