Just one phrase to describe myself ... Multi System Systemic Lupus Nephritis . My name is Karishma Shaikh. In Paris City in European Union in Oct 2020, I developed swelling of my face. All Paris Hospitals were overflowing with Covid-19 patients, and, I got an Appointment for Paris Doctor, for three months later on, for Dec 2020. I browsed the internet and learnt about this being possibly kidney issue, and , contacted Dr Sandip Bhurke in Andheri, Mumbai, India. He suggested a video call. Within 5 seconds of the video call, looking at my swollen face with Butterfly rash on my cheeks, Dr Bhurke suggested that I may be having Lupus Nephritis Kidney problem. I flew back urgently to Mumbai, and, Dr Bhurke attended to me in OPD of Prabhakar Bhurke Nephrology Urology and Gynaecology Infertility Clinic Mumbai at 3 AM in the night. I got admitted thereafter. My list of problems is too long, but, here goes ...

I am an ICU Intensivist Doctor in Andheri Mumbai. My mother Ushadevi was found to have weak Kidneys due to ANCA glomerulonephritis in April 2021. From april 2021 followed up with 3 nephrologist in mumbai but her creatinine level was constantly going up. Her blood pressure was in range of 220/110. In night of 20 December 2021 when her condition was very serious a common friend Doctor referred us to Dr Bhurke. Bhurke sir came to visit us urgently at night 11 pm when all other doctors refused to come and got her admited and immediately started lifelong dialysis and saved her life. My mother has had 6 ICU admissions. She has required change of permacatheter due to infections. She has required 3 times dialysis catheters in neck. During fungal septicemia, my family had given up hope. But, Dr Sandip Bhurke brought her back from the jaws of death. My mother does dialysis 3 times per week in andheri under care of Dr Sandip Bhurke Sir. Now every thing is under control. Kidney Transplant we have canceled because of frequent ill health. Bhurke Sir has come like God to us.

My father Mr. Sripad Bhattacharya was checked by Dr. Bhurke in 2010. My father had a rise in creatinine (2) and electrolyte disturbance due to urine medicine called as diaretics. Within a short time of talking to my father, Dr. Bhurke noticed less emotions on the face of my father. Further physical examination by Dr. Bhurke (which included walking straight) he came to an instantaneous diagnosis of a brain problem called as Parkinson’s disease.
