To see if Rajib Gupta is accepting new patients, or for assistance finding a UC Davis doctor, please call 800-2-UCDAVIS (800-282-3284).
As a renal pathologist, my primary responsibility is to give a timely and correct report of the patient's kidney biopsy (that may have been ordered by a nephrologist or rheumatologist) which is so vital for the optimal management of the patient's kidney disease.
Dr. Gupta is a renal pathologist with expertise in the diagnosis of diseases of both native and allograft kidneys. He has special interests in lupus nephritis, monoclonal kidney diseases, electron microscopy and transplant pathology.
Dr. Gupta's research interests include - monoclonal kidney disease, COVID-associated kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, onconephrology, IgG4-related sieases and immunoelectron microscopy.
