Dr. Ajay Kumar Sharma

Dr. Ajay Kumar Sharma is a transplant specialist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, contributing to one of India's most comprehensive and internationally recognised organ transplant programmes. With over 15 years of dedicated experience in renal and hepatic transplant medicine, Dr. Sharma plays an integral role in managing transplant patients from pre-operative evaluation through surgery to long-term post-transplant care. Apollo Delhi's transplant programme – supported by decades of institutional experience and JCI accreditation maintained across four consecutive cycles – is one of the most trusted kidney and liver transplant destinations for both Indian and international patients. Dr. Sharma is a key clinical contributor to this programme, managing the complex medical and immunological dimensions of organ transplantation within a highly collaborative multidisciplinary team. His training in organ transplantation equipped him with expertise across the complex immunological, surgical and medical dimensions of solid organ transplantation, including immunosuppression management, transplant infectious disease prevention and the metabolic complications of long-term post-transplant care. Organ transplant medicine demands seamless coordination between transplant surgery, nephrology, hepatology, infectious disease and intensive care, and Dr. Sharma is experienced in managing this complexity. In renal transplantation his expertise spans living donor and deceased donor kidney transplant, ABO-incompatible transplant protocols, paired kidney exchange and management of sensitised patients with high panel-reactive antibody levels requiring desensitisation before transplant. Post-transplant management is a particular focus – he is expert in tailoring immunosuppression regimens to individual patient risk profiles, balancing rejection prevention against infection risk, nephrotoxicity and metabolic complications including post-transplant diabetes and dyslipidaemia. The international patient coordination services at Apollo Delhi – including visa facilitation, pre-arrival telemedicine, multilingual coordinators and comprehensive post-discharge follow-up – make the transplant programme accessible to patients from South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and beyond. Dr. Sharma works closely with international patients and their families to ensure transparent, culturally sensitive and medically excellent care throughout the transplant journey. Long-term graft survival is critically determined by the quality of post-transplant medical management, and Dr. Sharma's attention to this ongoing phase reflects his understanding of transplantation as a journey rather than a single surgical episode. His commitment to patient education, medication adherence and structured long-term surveillance protocols has contributed to Apollo Delhi's excellent long-term transplant outcomes. A recipient of the Apollo Recognition Award for Transplant Surgery, Dr. Ajay Kumar Sharma at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital offers patients in Delhi NCR access to a mature, high-volume organ transplant programme with experienced multidisciplinary management and international-standard protocols.
