Why Choose CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Kurla for Gastroenterology Care

Patients should know what a visit involves, and what it will cost, before they decide. Cost estimates and insurance or cashless options, where applicable, can be discussed with the hospital team at the start. Since digestive conditions often need a procedure, a review and sometimes repeat tests are needed. Delaying care for digestive symptoms can lead to complications, so the approach includes:

• Clinical evaluation with scans to support the right diagnosis

• Medicines as the first line of treatment for most conditions

• Endoscopic procedures when medicines are not enough or when direct viewing is needed for diagnosis

• Prompt evaluation of sudden problems such as pancreatitis or digestive bleeding

• Shared care with other departments when a digestive condition overlaps with wider health concerns

• Follow-up to track recovery and manage long-term conditions

Conditions We Treat

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  long-term inflammation of the digestive tract, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, needing long-term care

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  cramps, bloating and changed bowel habits with no visible damage to the intestine

• Acid reflux (GERD)
  stomach acid flowing back into the food pipe, causing heartburn and, if untreated, damage to its lining

• Gallstones
  hard deposits in the gallbladder that can stay silent or cause severe pain needing gallbladder removal

• Liver diseases
  fatty liver, hepatitis and cirrhosis, which vary widely in severity

• Acute pancreatitis
  sudden swelling of the pancreas with severe belly pain, needing prompt evaluation

• Melena
  dark, tarry stool that shows bleeding in the upper digestive tract and needs urgent tests

Diagnostic Procedures

Diagnosis depends on looking directly into the digestive tract, along with history and lab tests.

• Colonoscopy
  a flexible scope examines the large intestine for polyps, inflammation, and bleeding sources

• Endoscopy
  scope-based examination of the digestive tract, showing areas scans cannot fully assess

• OGD (oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy)
  examines the food pipe, stomach and first part of the small intestine, used for reflux, ulcers or unexplained bleeding

• Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
  endoscopy with ultrasound to assess the gut wall and nearby organs such as the pancreas and bile ducts

Gastroenterology Treatments

• ERCP
  endoscopy with X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat the bile ducts and pancreas, including removing gallstones stuck outside the gallbladder

• Flexible colonoscopy
  used to treat as well as diagnose, removing polyps and managing certain bleeding during the same procedure
