Types of Diseases treated under Gastroenterology
Chronic Liver Disease with Portal Hypertension
This condition involves long-term liver damage leading to increased blood pressure in the veins supplying the liver. Treatment focuses on reducing pressure and managing complications such as variceal bleeding and ascites.
Expert care involves using medications, endoscopic procedures, and lifestyle management to reduce the portal pressure and mitigate complications like bleeding varices and ascites.
Chronic Liver Disease (CLD)
CLD involves ongoing deterioration of liver function over an extended period. Symptoms might not be apparent initially, but early diagnosis is crucial. Treatment varies from managing symptoms to possibly considering a liver transplant.
We focus on lifestyle modifications, medications to slow progression, and regular monitoring to manage symptoms and delay progression to liver failure.
Portal Hypertension (PH)
Portal hypertension is characterized by increased blood pressure in the portal vein due to various liver conditions. It's crucial to address the increased pressure to prevent severe complications such as variceal bleeding.
Treatments include medications to lower portal pressure, endoscopic procedures to manage varices, and surgical interventions if necessary.
Hepatic Encephalopathy
This is a complex condition resulting from liver dysfunction, leading to neuropsychiatric abnormalities. It's vital to diagnose early and manage appropriately to prevent brain damage.
Our care involves dietary management, medications to reduce ammonia levels, and treating the underlying liver condition.
Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP)
SBP is an infection of the fluid in the peritoneal cavity often seen in patients with portal hypertension. Immediate treatment is essential to prevent severe outcomes.
We provide prompt antibiotic administration and supportive care to manage this potentially life-threatening condition.
Chronic Pancreatitis
This involves long-lasting inflammation of the pancreas that alters its normal function. Treatments focus on pain management and handling complications.
Our holistic approach includes enzyme supplements, pain relief strategies, and nutritional support to improve quality of life.
