About of Amali C. Mallawaarachchi

Amali C. Mallawaarachchi is a nephrologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after people who have kidney and urinary system health issues, from long-term problems to sudden changes that need quick care.


In many cases, her work includes chronic kidney disease, including conditions linked to long-term kidney strain. She also helps with polycystic kidney disease (and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease), where kidney cysts can slowly affect how well the kidneys work over time. At times, she supports people managing kidney problems that also come with high blood pressure, including high blood pressure in infants.


Her patients may come in after tests show inflammation or damage in the kidneys. This can include glomerulonephritis, where the kidney filters get irritated, and other kidney conditions that affect the way blood and fluid are handled. She also treats problems like hydronephrosis, which is when urine flow gets blocked and the kidney can swell.


Some people see her after a more sudden illness, such as acute tubular necrosis. In these situations, kidneys can be stressed, and the focus is on getting the body back on track, watching kidney numbers closely, and helping prevent further harm.


Amali also provides kidney support for people who have had a kidney transplant. That ongoing care matters, because even when a transplant is working well, it still needs regular checking and good long-term management.


Details about her education and work history aren’t listed in the profile, but her focus stays clearly on kidney health. There’s also no research or clinical trial information shown here, so any trial involvement would need to be discussed directly with the treating team.
