These services focus on the diagnosis and treatment of liver-related conditions. Hepatologists are medical doctors who specialize in the liver.

Liver Fibroscan

A Liver FibroScan, also known as transient elastography, is a non-invasive medical test used to assess the stiffness and fibrosis (scarring) of the liver

UGI ENDOSCOPY

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, often referred to as UGI endoscopy or simply upper endoscopy, is a medical procedure used to examine the upper part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

COLONOSCOPY

A colonoscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inside of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It involves the use of a colonoscope, a long, flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip.

HEPATITIS B AND C TREATMENT

Pegylated interferon is another treatment option for Hepatitis B. It is administered as an injection and is typically used for a defined course of therapy.

CT SCAN AND ALL TYPES OF MAJOR TEST AND HOSPITAL ADMISSION

CT Scan (Computed Tomography Scan)
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Endoscopy

What is FibroScan test?

Fibroscan is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses ultrasound to examine the liver. This scanning technology is used to assess the health of the liver and check for fibrosis.

Fibrosis is the accumulation of excess tissue that occurs with the scarring of collagen tissue. Doctors recommend the fibroscan test as a screening test for various diseases but not limited to cirrhosis and hepatic tumours. In these instances, a Fibroscan can help detect signs of deteriorating liver function and acute liver failure. Fibroscan also helps you assess abnormal fat buildup in your liver or fatty liver.

Why Do I Need Fibroscan?

Fibroscan is used by doctors to visualise the liver and check for fibrosis. This imaging test allows you to evaluate the health of your liver. Fibroscan can give you valuable information about your liver, so it’s a good idea to get a Fibroscan liver test if you have signs of any progressive liver disease. In fact, a Fibroscan is more specific and sensitive than an ultrasound scan in detecting fibrosis.

What is an upper GI endoscopy?

An upper GI endoscopy or EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) is a procedure to diagnose and treat problems in your upper GI (gastrointestinal) tract.

The upper GI tract includes your food pipe (esophagus), stomach, and the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum).

This procedure is done using a long, flexible tube called an endoscope. The tube has a tiny light and video camera on one end. The tube is put into your mouth and throat. Then it is slowly pushed through your esophagus and stomach, and into your duodenum. Video images from the tube are seen on a monitor.

Small tools may also be inserted into the endoscope. These tools can be used to:

Take tissue samples for a biopsy
Remove things such as food that may be stuck in the upper GI tract
Inject air or fluid
Stop bleeding
Do procedures such as endoscopic surgery, laser therapy, or open (dilate) a narrowed area

Why might I need an upper GI endoscopy?

An upper GI endoscopy can be used to diagnose and treat problems in your upper GI tract.

It is often used to find the cause of unexplained symptoms such as:

Trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
Unexplained weight loss
Upper belly pain or chest pain that is not heart-related
Continuous vomiting for an unknown reason (intractable vomiting)
Bleeding in the upper GI tract

An upper GI endoscopy can be used to identify disorders or problems such as:

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Narrowing (strictures) or blockages
Larger than normal veins in your esophagus (esophageal varices)
Redness and swelling (inflammation) and sores (ulcers)
Tumors, either cancerous (malignant) or not cancerous (benign)
The stomach moving upward, either into or next to your esophagus (hiatal hernia)
Damage caused by swallowing very harmful (caustic) substances, such as household detergents and chemicals
Celiac disease
Crohn’s disease of the upper GI tract
Infections of the upper GI tract

An upper GI endoscopy can also treat problems in the upper GI tract. The procedure can be used to:

Control bleeding
Remove tumors or growths (polyps)
Open (dilate) narrowed areas
Remove things that may be stuck
Perform laser therapy
Insert a tube used for tube feeding (a percutaneous gastrostomy tube) into the stomach
Band abnormal veins in your esophagus (esophageal varices)

An endoscope can be used to take tissue samples (biopsies) or GI fluid samples. An upper GI endoscopy may also be done to check your stomach and duodenum after a surgery.

Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend an upper GI endoscopy.

A colonoscopy is an examination of the inside of your large intestine, which includes your colon, rectum and anus. It’s a type of endoscopy, which means that it uses an endoscope, a flexible tube with a lighted camera on the end that’s inserted into your body. There are different types of endoscopes for different parts of your body. In a colonoscopy, the colonoscope passes through your anus and rectum into your colon. Along the way, it sends pictures of the inside of your large intestine to a screen.

Why would I need a colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy may be preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic — and often, it’s all of these. Your healthcare provider may advise you to have a colonoscopy for routine cancer screening if you’re at a statistically higher risk of developing colorectal cancer. Since anyone can have colorectal cancer at any time without warning or symptoms, screening is the best way to stay ahead of it. While screening, your gastroenterologist may also remove suspicious tissues for testing and prevention.
