About Dr. Purna Paritala
Dr. Purna Paritala is a kidney transplant surgeon at KIMS Institute of Renal Sciences & Advanced Urology, Secunderabad, with over 13 years of practice in urology and renal transplant surgery. Working within the KIMS transplant team alongside Dr. S. Sahariah and Dr. Ch. Uma Maheshwara Rao, she has contributed to one of the most productive transplant research programmes in Telangana's private hospital sector.
Her research contribution is documented in 10+ indexed publications in journals including the Saudi Journal of Kidney Disease and Transplantation, Transplant Immunology, Transplantation (the leading international transplant journal), Indian Journal of Transplantation, and Immunological Research. This research output — covering immunosuppression protocols (ATG vs basiliximab induction, everolimus with low-dose cyclosporin, CNI replacement), transplant outcomes (NODAT, graft function, NK-cell distribution in chronic allograft dysfunction, post-transplant tolerance), and monitoring (tacrolimus levels, spot protein:creatinine ratio) — reflects consistent engagement with the clinical and immunological dimensions of transplant medicine.
Her postgraduate qualifications are not in the public domain and should be confirmed with KIMS administration before publishing the final profile page. The procedures listed below reflect the standard scope of a kidney transplant surgeon at a high-volume centre like KIMS, where she also supports the nephrology dialysis programme through vascular access surgery.
Areas of clinical expertise
Kidney transplant surgery
Living donor and deceased donor kidney transplant surgery — pre-transplant workup, donor nephrectomy (living donor), the recipient operation, post-operative management, and long-term follow-up. As part of the KIMS transplant team, Dr. Paritala contributes to one of Hyderabad's highest-volume transplant programmes.
- Living donor kidney transplant — donor workup, donor nephrectomy and recipient transplant operation
- Deceased donor kidney transplant — procurement, back-table preparation and recipient operation
- ABO-incompatible transplant surgery within the KIMS transplant programme
- Post-operative surgical complication management and long-term graft monitoring
Transplant immunology — research
Active research contributions to the KIMS transplant research group on immunosuppression protocols, transplant immunology, and outcomes monitoring.
- Induction therapy — anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) versus basiliximab, with long-term outcome follow-up
- Everolimus-based CNI minimisation — everolimus with low-dose cyclosporin in de novo recipients
- New onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) — incidence in the Indian transplant population
- Tacrolimus blood level monitoring and its clinical application in Indian renal transplant recipients
- Peripheral NK-cell repertoire distribution in chronic allograft dysfunction
- Post-transplant tolerance and graft function surveillance (spot urine protein:creatinine ratio)
Vascular access
- AV fistula creation and vascular access surgery for haemodialysis patients — the surgical foundation that supports the KIMS nephrology dialysis programme
- Arteriovenous graft placement for patients unsuitable for a native fistula
- Access planning and revision for long-term dialysis-dependent patients
