About Me
Priya Deshpande, MD is a board-certified nephrologist at Mount Sinai Doctors, seeing patients on Wednesdays in Brooklyn Heights. Trained in New York, she is certified in Nephrology by the American Board of Internal Medicine and a member of the American Society of Nephrology. She was awarded her medical degree from SUNY Downstate Medical Center and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and her fellowship in Nephrology at the Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Deshpande has also given back to the community through her previous work with Doctors for Global Health and the American Medical Association. In 2010, she received Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Leo Davidoff Award for outstanding achievement in the teaching of medical students.
Dr. Deshpande is particularly interested in renal conditions related to cancer or as a result of chemotherapies (“onconephrology”). She and her colleague Dr. Matthew Abramson are developing an onconephrology program geared to specifically treating cancer patients who have renal disease, proteinuria, electrolyte abnormalities and hypertension.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Deshpande did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry and other outside entities during 2024 and/or 2025: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
