Professor Dr. Rana Mokaram Hossain

Prof. Dr. Rana Mokarrom Hossain is a Nephrologist with MBBS, MD in Nephrology and CCD. He works as a Professor in the Department of Nephrology at Bangladesh Medical University (BMU) and also serves as a Senior Consultant at Universal Medical College & Hospital Ltd. His work covers kidney diseases at different stages. Chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, diabetic nephropathy, glomerular disorders and electrolyte problems are among the conditions in his field. Kidney stones and some urinary tract problems are also part of his clinical work. A patient may come with swelling, changes in urine or abnormal kidney test results. The cause is not always obvious from symptoms alone. Blood tests, urine tests and imaging may be needed.

Dr. Rana Mokarrom Hossain also manages patients who require dialysis and other forms of renal replacement therapy. For someone with advanced kidney failure, dialysis may become part of regular medical care. Patients being considered for a kidney transplant also need preparation and medical assessment before the procedure. Diabetes is another common concern in kidney clinics because long term high blood sugar can damage the kidneys. His academic role at BMU keeps him involved in teaching alongside clinical work. Kidney care can involve repeated appointments and plenty of lab reports. Not very exciting stuff. But those numbers often tell the doctor what is happening. He deals with that sort of work every day.
