Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY

Capsule Endoscopy

This innovative test uses a swallowable camera capsule to capture detailed images of portions of the small intestine that are hard to reach with traditional endoscopy methods. It enhances diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal issues.

  • Symptoms/causes: Useful for investigating unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease assessment, or small bowel tumors suspected after other tests remain inconclusive.
  • Diagnosis: The patient swallows a tiny capsule equipped with a video camera transmitting images wirelessly as it travels naturally through the digestive tract.
  • Treatment/management:If abnormalities are found by this method further endoscopic evaluation or treatment may be required depending on findings like ulcers or tumors.

LIVER FUNCTION TESTS

Liver Function Tests

Liver function tests (LFTs) are blood investigations that assess how well your liver performs its essential roles including detoxification and protein synthesis. They help detect liver damage or disease early on.

  • Symptoms/causes: Often ordered when experiencing jaundice, abdominal pain, fatigue or following alcohol use or medication intake that could harm the liver.
  • Diagnosis: Blood samples measure enzyme levels like ALT and AST alongside bilirubin and protein concentrations.
  • Treatment/management: Abnormal results guide further testing such as imaging or biopsy; treatment depends on identified liver conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver or cirrhosis.
  • What to expect: Simple blood draw; results typically available within days allowing prompt clinical decisions.

LFTs provide crucial clues about liver health and are routinely used in monitoring chronic diseases or medication effects on hepatic function.

COLONOSCOPY

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a comprehensive examination used to inspect the entire large intestine and rectum. It is vital for detecting colon abnormalities and preventing colorectal cancer.

  • Symptoms/causes: Recommended for patients with rectal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, changes in bowel habits, or as routine screening past age 50.
  • Diagnosis: Involves insertion of a long flexible tube via the rectum equipped with a camera to view the bowel lining thoroughly.
  • Treatment/management: Polyps can be removed during the procedure; biopsies may be taken to investigate suspicious areas further.
  • What to expect: Sedation is usually provided, making it painless; preparation includes bowel cleansing prior to ensure clear visibility.

This examination remains a cornerstone in gastrointestinal disease prevention and early diagnosis strategies.

UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY

Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a key diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. It provides valuable information for various digestive complaints.

  • Symptoms/causes: Indicated for persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained abdominal pain, or bleeding.
  • Diagnosis: A flexible tube with a camera is gently inserted through the mouth to visualize internal structures directly.
  • Treatment/management: During endoscopy, biopsies can be taken or minor therapeutic procedures performed, such as removing polyps or cauterizing bleeding vessels.
  • What to expect: The procedure typically lasts 15-30 minutes; sedation may be offered for comfort and mild throat soreness afterward is common.

This minimally invasive test greatly aids in diagnosing conditions like ulcers, inflammation, or cancer at an early stage.
