Sourav Shristi is one of a small number of DM Nephrology–trained physicians in Odisha and the only one running a full-time private nephrology practice in Sambalpur. He earned his DM in Nephrology and teaches at VIMSAR Burla, where he sees public-hospital cases alongside his clinic practice.
Day to day, he treats chronic kidney disease, diabetic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, hypertension-related kidney problems, and kidney stones. He performs kidney biopsies, places permanent and short-term dialysis catheters, manages hemodialysis on the clinic's six-machine floor, and handles the full pre- and post-transplant workup for patients planning a kidney transplant.
His patients keep mentioning the same things in their reviews: a thirty-minute first consult, the diagnosis explained in Odia or Hindi if that's what the family speaks at home, no upselling, and a Wednesday follow-up call about how new medications are settling in.
Patient stories
When my father's creatinine kept rising, two doctors told us to wait and watch. Dr. Shristi sat with us for thirty minutes, walked us through what was actually happening, and gave us a six-month plan. We're holding stage 3 steady, two years on.
He explained everything in Odia. My husband and I both understood, which doesn't usually happen at a hospital. The dietitian came in the same visit and didn't try to sell us anything — she just asked what we ate at home.
Six machines, no waiting list. The nurses know me by name. Dr. Shristi himself calls on Wednesdays to ask how my new BP tablet is suiting me — a small thing, but it matters.
We came for a second opinion after my mother was told dialysis was the only option. He reviewed everything, ran two more tests, confirmed the diagnosis — and explained why so clearly that we left calm instead of cornered.
I'm twenty-eight. Two doctors said the protein in my urine was nothing. Dr. Shristi sat me down with my reports, showed me what it meant, and started me on ACE inhibitors that same week. My kidney function has been stable for a year and a half since.
The pre-transplant workup was thorough. He flagged a heart issue my cardiologist hadn't, sorted that out first, and now I'm stable enough to go on the list. He doesn't rush — that's the difference.
