Prof. Dr. Shamim Ahmed

Prof. Dr. Shamim Ahmed is a former Director and Professor of Nephrology with an extensive list of professional qualifications. His credentials include MBBS, FCPS in Medicine, FRCP from Edinburgh, FRCP from Glasgow, FACP from the USA and FWHO in Nephrology. His specialist field is kidney medicine, which covers the assessment of renal disorders, monitoring kidney function and managing medical conditions that can affect the kidneys over time.

People may require nephrology care after abnormal kidney test results, recurring urinary concerns or complications related to diabetes and high blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease can progress without obvious early symptoms, so appropriate testing is important for people at increased risk. A medical review may include blood pressure measurements, serum creatinine, eGFR, urine protein testing and an assessment of existing illnesses. These findings help guide decisions about further investigations, treatment and follow-up.

Prof. Ahmed's listed chamber is the National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU), Dhaka. Patients planning to consult him can bring previous medical reports, prescriptions, ultrasound results and a list of their current medicines. Details of earlier kidney treatment, hospital admissions and conditions such as diabetes or hypertension may also help the doctor review their medical history.

His qualifications and former leadership role form part of his professional background in medicine and nephrology. Patients intending to visit NIKDU should confirm the current consultation schedule and appointment arrangements beforehand. People already under treatment for kidney disease should follow their prescribed care plan and attend recommended check-ups to monitor changes in kidney function.
