Diagnosis Facilities
- Ascitic Fluid Tapping
Ascitic Fluid Tapping drains the fluid from the abdomen to diagnose conditions and relieve pressure on these organs. Internal medicine doctors in Ghaziabad at the internal medicine hospital drain via needle aspiration or by inserting a tube into the abdomen and allowing the fluid to drain through it.
- Lumbar Puncture
A lumbar puncture involves taking a small Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) sample from the spinal canal to diagnose central nervous system conditions, such as inflammation or infection. The procedure happens with a hollow needle, or a thin, flexible tube called an epidural needle with a special tip at one end. The lumbar area of the spine contains nerves that transmit messages between the brain and the spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid wraps these nerves and flows through spaces between these nerves and around the spinal cord. This fluid helps protect the brain and spinal cord from shock and trauma.
- Peripheral Doppler Study
The peripheral Doppler study measures blood flow in the body's large arteries. It finds blockages or other abnormalities that could cause heart disease, Aneurysms and Strokes. The test uses sound waves to measure how fast blood moves through the arteries. A speedometer-like device called a Doppler probe sends sound waves that bounce off red blood cells. The probe then receives the reflected sound waves and uses them to calculate how fast the red blood cells are moving. It helps to diagnose Narrowed Arteries or Veins, Blood Clots, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Blood Vessel Injuries.
- Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) obtains cells from a patient's tumour or cyst. During the procedure, doctors insert a fine needle into the affected body area and suction out cells to analyse under a microscope. FNAC diagnoses Cancer and conditions such as Infections, Inflammation, or Cysts.
- Pleural Aspiration
Pleural Aspiration removes fluid from the chest cavity by inserting a needle through the rib cage and into the pleural space, where it removes fluid. The procedure diagnoses or treats a condition in which fluid accumulates within the pleural space in the chest, such as Pulmonary Edema (fluid build-up in the lungs) or Pneumothorax (collapsed lung).
- Ultrasound (US) Guided Liver Biopsy
Ultrasound (US) Guided Liver Biopsy diagnoses liver diseases, including Cancer. The biopsy uses ultrasound imaging to guide a needle to the liver and collect tissue samples to determine the presence of cancerous cells and other illnesses.
- HIV Testing
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The virus causes AIDS, a condition in which the immune system weakens, making the patient vulnerable to other infectious diseases.
The most common way to test for HIV is through a blood draw, along with a testing device, which sends out electrical signals that detect the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood.
- Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) impacts the lungs, causing them to become damaged over time. This damage can make breathing difficult, causing symptoms like shortness of breath and wheezing. The diagnosis of COPD happens with a physical examination and other tests. A chest X-Ray shows problems with the lungs, while a pulmonary function test can show how well the lungs are working. A blood test can also check for specific markers that may indicate COPD.
Treatment Facilities
- Liver Abscess Aspiration
Liver Abscess Aspiration drains pus from the liver abscess (pus-filled mass in the liver) by inserting a needle into the liver. It treats patients with severe liver infections, such as those caused by Tuberculosis or Viral Hepatitis. Most patients can get Liver Abscess Aspiration on an outpatient basis and return home after treatment.
- Ultrasound (US) Guided Pleural Tap
Ultrasound (US) Guided Pleural Tap removes fluid from the pleural space by inserting a needle under ultrasound guidance to be placed in the right location to avoid significant damage to surrounding structures.
- Diabetes Management
Diabetes management keeps blood sugar levels as normal as possible, preventing complications. The management includes complete check-ups for effective prevention, timely diagnosis and treatment. Regular check-ups are essential to prevent diabetes-related health problems and keep track of any complications that may arise. Treatment includes regular monitoring to avoid the associated complications, medications, managing symptoms and lifestyle.
- Thyroid Management
The thyroid is a tiny gland in the neck that produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces too many hormones, causing heart palpitations, weight loss, and rapid heartbeat. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces insufficient amounts of these hormones, causing fatigue, weight gain and sluggishness. The treatment for Hypothyroidism may include a synthetic form of thyroid hormone taken regularly. Hyperthyroidism may require medication to reduce thyroid hormone production or surgery to remove part or all of the gland.
- Weight Management
Obesity occurs when the body accumulates too much fat, defined as a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or more. Obesity can cause health problems such as heart disease and Diabetes, leading to premature death if left untreated. Lifestyle management and weight loss or bariatric surgery are treatment options for obesity.
- Arthritis Management
Arthritis is a term used to describe joint diseases. It can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. The most common forms of arthritis include Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), Gouty Arthritis, Lupus Erythematosus, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Reactive Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. Treatment includes exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist, medications to relieve symptoms and surgery.
