My Profile

Short Description

Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani – Senior Nephrologist in Delhi – CKD, Dialysis & Kidney Transplant Care | Moolchand Hospital

About me

Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani is a Senior Consultant in Nephrology & Kidney Care at Moolchand Hospital, Lajpat Nagar, with more than 20 years of experience in diagnosing and treating complex kidney disorders. Extensively trained in Nephrology and Renal Sciences at AIIMS, New Delhi, he has cared for thousands of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), diabetic kidney disease, hypertensive nephropathy, proteinuria, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Many patients consult Dr. Hotchandani through referrals from across India and overseas, especially those with rare or treatment-resistant renal conditions that need experienced evaluation and long-term guidance. His care philosophy balances clinical precision with a calm, empathetic approach so patients and families can understand the condition clearly, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence.

Kidney diseases often progress silently, which is why early diagnosis and structured monitoring are so important. Dr. Hotchandani’s goal is straightforward: deliver accurate renal evaluation, evidence-based nephrology treatment, and compassionate lifelong follow-up so patients can protect kidney function and live well.

Thank you for giving me great quality of life!

In 2006, I received a kidney transplant at Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai. As a renal kidney failure patient it is very hard to believe that I could have a normal life while on dialysis. A dear friend who I highly admire referred me to Moolchand Hospital and told me, “Don’t worry they will take great care of you.”
Thanks to Dr. Ramesh Hotchandani at Moolchand, I am a dialysis patient with great quality of life. I am very grateful to him for not only taking care of me, but for restoring my quality of life as a dialysis patient. So I know no matter what happens, I will continue to live a gratifying life.

Love and appreciation for Dr Ramesh!

My 21-year old daughter Simran is a CKD 5 patient and on MHD for the last 6 years. Simran’s dialysis started in PSRI Hospital but was shifted to Moolchand as it was very near to our house. Since then, we started her treatment with Dr Ramesh and have seen remarkable improvement in Simran’s health.
Doctors are no less than God. They are rays of hope. They are the life saviors. Dr Ramesh, one of the top nephrology specialists in India, truly proved to be a life savior for Simran. He is a wonderful, altruistic human being. He is very courteous and supportive.
Respect and best wishes for him.

After God, I thank Dr Ramesh Hotchandani!

I have been undergoing dialysis at Moolchand since 2008. I would like to thank Dr. Ramesh for being very supportive and kind to me throughout all these years. It is his excellent care that has brought remarkable improvement in my condition. He shows sincere concern and compassion for my health and that’s why I applaud him. I and my family believe had we not met Dr. Ramesh, life could be much more challenging for me.
A special thanks to the staff at nephrology department whom I find very caring and courteous. They keep me well informed and in case of any emergency, I know that there is always someone I can refer to. I highly recommend Dr. Ramesh and Moolchand nephrology department.
