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 - lupus nephritis, COVID-associated kidney injury, onconephrology and AI use in renal biopsy interpretation.
