Sheetal Chiba is a South African clinician-researcher whose work centres on nephrology and the intersection of kidney disease with infectious and non-communicable conditions. Affiliated with tertiary academic services in Johannesburg, Chiba contributes to scholarship addressing the burden of chronic kidney disease and complications affecting vulnerable urban populations.
Recent publications explore referral patterns and epidemiology of chronic kidney disease, highlighting late presentation, hypertension, diabetes, and HIV as key drivers in the regional context. Research on thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura in the era of HIV examines clinical features and outcomes in resource-constrained settings, underscoring the impact of plasma exchange and the distinct profile of HIV-associated disease.
Additional studies assess COVID-19 outcomes in haemodialysis units and vaccine hesitancy among dialysis patients, demonstrating a commitment to patient-centred interventions and public health responsiveness. Collectively, this body of work reflects strengths in clinical epidemiology, health systems awareness, and translating evidence into practical strategies for improving kidney care in Southern Africa.
