DR. JAYALAKSHMI K –

Dr. Jayalakshmi, Pediatric Gastroenterologist, bring with her over 12 years of clinical experience in managing
complex gastrointestinal, hepatic, and nutritional disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.

Dr. Jayalakshmi’s clinical practice is shaped by structured subspecialty training and sustained exposure to highacuity paediatric gastroenterology services. Her clinical expertise includes inflammatory bowel disease in
children, particularly very early onset IBD and monogenic gastrointestinal disorders, areas that demand careful
diagnostic evaluation, genetic correlation, and long-term multidisciplinary care. She routinely manages
children with chronic abdominal pain, malabsorption syndromes, chronic diarrhoea, gastrointestinal bleeding,
and nutritional failure, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based protocols and continuity of care.

Dr. Jayalakshmi has a strong academic orientation and remains actively engaged in research and professional
education. Her published work on monogenic causes of very early onset IBD has contributed to evolving
diagnostic approaches in paediatric gastroenterology, including a peer-reviewed publication highlighting
experiences from a tertiary care centre in North India.
