Prof. Dr. Kazi Shahnoor Alam

Prof. Dr. Kazi Shahnoor Alam is a Professor of Nephrology with qualifications in general medicine and specialised kidney care. His education includes MBBS, FCPS (Medicine) and MD (Nephrology). His area of practice concerns the diagnosis and medical management of kidney diseases, including conditions that affect how the body filters waste and maintains its fluid balance. Patients with ongoing kidney problems may require specialist assessment and regular monitoring to guide their care.

Kidney function can change gradually, particularly in people living with diabetes or high blood pressure. Some patients have no clear symptoms in the early stages, while others notice swelling around the ankles, changes in urination or unusual fatigue. Routine blood and urine tests can help identify problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. A doctor may review creatinine levels, eGFR, urine protein results and other health information to assess kidney function and decide whether additional investigations are necessary.

Prof. Alam's listed chamber is the National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU), Dhaka. Patients visiting for a consultation can bring previous test reports, prescriptions, imaging results and details of ongoing treatment. Information about existing conditions and current medicines may help the doctor understand possible risk factors and review earlier findings. Keeping medical documents organised by date can make comparisons easier during follow-up visits.

His postgraduate training in medicine and nephrology supports his professional work in kidney care. Patients planning to see him at NIKDU should confirm the current appointment process and consultation schedule before travelling. Those with a diagnosed kidney condition should continue their prescribed treatment and attend recommended follow-up checks to monitor changes in their health.
