Diseases and Conditions Treated

CARE Hospital’s Gastroenterology department is specialized in diagnosing and treating diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. The department also covers the entire digestive system, from food passage through the tract to the processes of digestion, absorption, and elimination. Our expert gastroenterologists and surgical gastroenterologists provide  both medical and surgical management of conditions such as colon polyps, gastrointestinal cancer, jaundice, cirrhosis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disorders, nutritional issues, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), pancreatitis, reflux esophagitis, hemorrhoids, and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Diseases Treated

The Gastroenterology division at the CARE Hospitals provides effective treatment for a large range of conditions relating to the digestive system. The most frequent among the diseases treated are:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A situation where the acid produced in the stomach comes back into the esophagus repeatedly and causes heartburn and other related symptoms.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A very common disorder that affects the large intestine, imparting the patient with symptoms like abdominal pain, swelling and changeable stool.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): IBD is one of the chronic diseases of the digestive system causing inflammation of the GI tract. It primarily includes two types: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease has the ability to affect any area of the GI tract, whereas ulcerative colitis is limited to the large intestine and rectum only.
• Liver Diseases: Including cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer.
• Gallstones: Solid particles that form in the gallbladder and can cause pain, nausea, and other complications.
• Peptic Ulcers: Sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus, often due to infection or prolonged use of NSAIDs.
• Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten causes damage to the small intestine.
• Achalasia: Achalasia is an uncommon condition that makes it hard for food and drink to go from the esophagus to the stomach. This is because the lower esophageal sphincter muscle doesn't relax and the esophagus doesn't contract (peristalsis).
• Barrett's Esophagus: Barrett's Esophagus is a consequence of long-term GERD that happens when the tissue lining the esophagus is replaced with tissue that is comparable to the lining of the intestine. This raises the risk of esophageal cancer.
• Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE): A long-term allergy or immunological disorder in which eosinophils, a kind of white blood cell, build up in the lining of the esophagus, producing inflammation and trouble swallowing (dysphagia).
• Diverticulitis: Diverticulitis occurs when tiny, bulging pouches (diverticula) in the lining of the digestive system are inflamed or infected. These pouches are most frequent in the colon.
• Microscopic Colitis: An inflammation of the colon that can only be seen with a microscope and causes long-lasting watery diarrhea.  There are two types of colitis: Collagenous Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis.
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): A disorder characterized by an overabundance of bacteria in the small intestine, resulting in symptoms such as bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, and diarrhea.
• Pancreatitis: Acute and chronic pancreatitis are both types of inflammation of the pancreas.  Acute pancreatitis comes on quickly and is quite bad, but chronic pancreatitis lasts a long time and may cause lifelong damage and malabsorption.
• Disorders of the Biliary Tract (Cholangitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis - PSC): Cholangitis is an inflammation of the bile duct system, but this is usually due to an infection with bacteria. PSC is a chronic disease that progressively damages the bile ducts, which become scarred, narrowed, and ultimately obstructed. 
• Functional Dyspepsia: This is a chronic disorder characterized by symptoms of indigestion, such as pain or burning in the upper abdomen, bloating, or feeling full after very little food intake.
• Chronic Constipation/Diarrhea: Chronic constipation is defined as infrequent bowel movement, which means less than three a week, lasting at least several weeks. In contrast, chronic diarrhea is indicated by loose, watery stool occurring three or more times a day for at least four weeks. Both cases suggest major digestive problems and therefore should be addressed.
• Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding: Upper or lower GI bleeding is commonly seen due to the ulcers, varices, or angiodysplasia.
• Colorectal Polyps and Cancer: Polyps located in the colon and rectum are abnormal masses that develop within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. They are usually not cancerous, but some of them may progress to a GI cancer, mainly colorectal cancer.

Interventional Treatment and Advanced Diagnostic Procedures

The CARE Hospitals Gastroenterology Department delivers an array of treatments and procedures based on a patient’s individual diagnosis. These treatments can range from simple diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to advanced minimally invasive and comprehensive medical treatment.

Diagnostic & Interventional Endoscopy:

• Standard Endoscopy: A minimally-invasive procedure that uses a flexible tube wedged with a camera to perform diagnostics and treatment of the GI tract, including diagnosing and evaluating ulcers, bleeding, and cancer.
• Capsule Endoscopy: A procedure that enables visualization of the small intestine by swallowing a small camera capsule, primarily in instances where standard endoscopy does not provide an effective visual assessment.
• Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy: These are highly specialized, minimally invasive procedures performed entirely through the endoscope to remove lesions without traditional surgery: - Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) - Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) (for removing larger and deeper early-stage cancers or large polyps) - Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) (for treating Achalasia)
• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): EUS is suggested for a more detailed evaluation of conditions such as pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis.

Advanced Diagnostic Procedures:

• 3D Imaging Techniques: The 3D imaging techniques are such that they make use of 2D CT or MRI scans and come up with very detailed 3D models of the innards of the body, thus making it so much easier to do a precise diagnosis and even plan surgery better.
• FibroScan (Transient Elastography): It is a non-invasive alternative to liver biopsy. It makes use of sound waves to quickly and painlessly measure the stiffness of the liver (which is an indicator of fibrosis/scarring, such as cirrhosis) and fat content (which is done in case of fatty liver disease).
• Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): An innovative, non-invasive method that directs shock waves at large gallstones or stones in the pancreatic and bile ducts, making them small enough to be easily removed through endoscopy.
• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): ERCP is a combination of an endoscopic and X-ray technique that allows the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas, like removing gallstones or placing stents to relieve blockages.
• High-Resolution Manometry (HRM): This is elaborate functional testing for the esophagus and rectum. It consists of many pressure sensors measuring and analyzing the coordination of muscle contractions and sphincter function, which is very important for diagnosing achalasia and swallowing disorders (dysphagia).
• Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI) or Chromoendoscopy: In this, a particular light filter is used during endoscopy that amplifies the clarity of the mucosal surface along with the intricate vascular patterns. It plays a major role in spotting very subtle precancerous lesions and early-stage cancers in the esophagus, stomach, and colon.
• Virtual Colonoscopy (CT Colonography): CT Colonography is an imaging test that is gentle on the body and requires a CT scanner in order to make cross-sectional pictures of the abdomen and pelvis, and afterwards, the pictures can be reconstructed into a 3D view.
• Liver Biopsy: A very common procedure to get a small piece of liver tissue for the diagnosis of liver cancers.
