Kamal has been on dialysis from July 1997. Diagnosed with atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in July 1997, he was on hemodialysis for a year and a half before undergoing an unsuccessful renal transplant. His mother had donated her kidney.

Kamal was then on Peritoneal Dialysis for six years. He was caught in the Tsunami of December 2004 while holidaying in Mahabalipuram with some friends. A series of exit site, tunnel and peritoneal cavity infections later, he had to give up PD.

Kamal then switched to daily nocturnal home hemodialysis. He is currently on this modality.
