Dr. Salil Jain is the Director & Head of Nephrology & Renal Transplant at Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI), Gurugram. With over 23 years of clinical experience, super-specialization in nephrology (DNB), and more than 2,000 kidney transplants managed, he is recognized for his leadership in ABO-incompatible kidney transplants, sensitized re-transplants, chronic kidney disease, and critical care dialysis.

An ABO-incompatible kidney transplant is performed between a donor and recipient who have different, traditionally incompatible blood groups (such as an A-positive donor and an O-positive recipient). Using targeted desensitization protocols—including plasmapheresis or immunoadsorption to remove pre-formed antibodies, alongside specialized immunosuppressive therapies—the patient's immune system is conditioned to accept the mismatched kidney safely with long-term success rates comparable to standard blood-group-matched transplants.

He consults at the Department of Nephrology and Renal Transplant at Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI), located in Sector 44, Opposite HUDA City Centre Metro Station, Gurugram, Haryana / Delhi NCR, India.
