We left the waiting room for multiple reasons after mom learned about the (typical) 2 hour wait time. She was in pain and exhausted, and was worried we'd run into the 6-8pm shift change where no visitors are accepted, my eye was really starting to give me a headache, etc etc.

When we got home, Mom spoke to the nurse who gave her the new room to see him in, possibly tomorrow. Dad made it through surgery fine and they had no issues reversing the anesthesia :) Apparently before the surgery he was almost entirely pain-free, so the pancreatitis is well on its way to healing! He has a wound in his side now, that's going to be sore because they had to go through muscle and such. But he's conscious and doing well, recovering.

Now, for what the doctor said about his gall bladder--

In front of the stomach, liver, and intestines, wrapping around them is a fatty, curtain-like organ called the omentum (there's Greater and Lesser, and more, but specifics aren't important). It plays a role in immune response. When things get inflamed--say, a liver--the omentum clings to those structures and aids in healing.

His pancreatitis had been so severe in affecting other organs it was challenging to maneuver around the omentum to get to the gall bladder. He ended up having to snip away some omentum, but said that dad has so much, it's not going to cause any harm.

What he did was snip the bulbous end of the gall bladder and begin scooping gall stones out. He said dad had at least a hundred stones. A HUNDRED, BB-to-pea-sized gall stones in his gall bladder!!! I thought the nurses had said no scans found any but??

Anyway, so he scoops them all out and then snips as much of the gall bladder out as possible. He wasn't able to remove as much as he usually does, mostly because the omentum was blocking vision so much and they don't want to risk nicking the Common Bile Duct because that'd cause a major complication and require a re-routing procedure, it just wasn't worth the risk. So there's technically still a risk of gall stones forming in the tiny funnel shape that's left at the end of the duct, but it's still safer.

He said dad was very lucky he came in when he did, that this was a very serious case of pancreatitis that could've caused multiple organ failure if left to progress. But the pancreas is now healing and the inflammation has gone down.

They're of course going to keep a close eye on him while the surgical wound heals, and monitor his liver numbers to make sure they didn't miss a stone or see that he's forming more.

He sent both the bit of amputated omentum and the gall bladder off to Pathology just to be sure, but he didn't see anything during surgery that looked tumorous.

They still wanna figure out what the fluid backup is and where it's coming from, but other than that, he should be on the road to recovery!

Study Reveals How COVID-19 Infection Can Cause or Worsen Diabetes - Published Sept 13, 2024

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have used a cutting-edge model system to uncover the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, induces new cases of diabetes, and worsens complications in people who already have it. The team found that viral exposure activates immune cells that in turn destroy beta (β) cells, the pancreatic cells that produce insulin. The study was published Sept. 2 in Cell Stem Cell.

“There has long been a hypothesis in the field that certain viral infections may trigger type 1 diabetes," said co-corresponding author Dr. Shuibing Chen, director of the Center for Genomic Health, the Kilts Family Professor of Surgery and a member of the Hartman Institute for Therapeutic Organ Regeneration at Weill Cornell Medicine. “But we were able to show how this happens in the context of COVID-19 infection.”

“When someone has severe COVID-19, of course the first priority is to treat the life-threatening symptoms,” said co-corresponding author Dr. Robert Schwartz, an associate professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and a gastroenterologist and hepatologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. “But moving forward, there may be a way to develop clinical therapeutics that help avoid later injury to organs like the pancreas.”

Dr. Liuliu Yang and Dr. Yuling Han, who were postdoctoral fellows in the Department of Surgery, and Dr. Tuo Zhang, an instructor in microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine, were co-first authors of the paper.

From the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors caring for sick patients observed that the virus affected a number of organ systems, including not only the lungs, but also the heart, liver, colon and pancreas. For the current work, the researchers started with samples of pancreatic tissue from autopsies of people who had died of COVID-19. They observed that the pancreatic islets, the parts of the pancreas that generate the insulin to regulate blood sugar, were damaged.

They then used an analysis technique called GeoMx to study the samples in more detail. This revealed the presence of immune cells called proinflammatory macrophages in the tissues. The job of these macrophages is to kill off pathogens, but they sometimes cause collateral damage to healthy tissues.

To learn more about this activity, the team used a model system developed in the Chen Lab that had never been used before; pancreatic islet organoids (mini organs) that included both a vascular system and immune cells. “If we want to use organoids to study how a disease progresses, it’s important to be able to include components of the immune system in these models,” said Dr. Chen. In this case, after infecting the organoids with SARS-CoV-2, they found the macrophages appeared to be killing off the β cells through a type of cell death called pyroptosis.

The team also used the organoids to study how the pancreas responds to infection with another infectious virus — coxsackievirus B4, which has been implicated in the onset of type 1 diabetes. They found a similar macrophage response. “Moving forward, this organoid system is going to be useful for looking at other viruses as well,” Dr. Schwartz said.

Further research on the signaling molecules that activate the macrophages also suggested potential interventions for protecting β cells from damage in patients with severe infections. Although it is too early to begin testing any treatments, this is something that may be possible in the future. This work could also help shed light on the underlying causes of long COVID, a condition that is believed to affect more than 15 million people in the United States.

What Is A Dual Organ Transplant? When Do You Need A Dual Organ Transplant?

A combined or dual organ transplant is a viable option for those who have suffered multiple organ failures wherein the patient will receive two organs simultaneously during one surgical procedure. A dual organ transplant may usually include a combined liver and kidney transplant or a pancreas and kidney transplant. Whether a liver and kidney transplant or a pancreas and kidney transplant, both organs must be replaced when they fail to function properly. The most common type of dual organ transplant is a kidney-pancreas transplant, which is performed on patients with type 1 diabetes who also have end-stage renal/kidney failure.

When Do You Need Dual Organ Transplant?

When you suffer from end-stage diseases like kidney failure and liver failure associated with comorbidities such as diabetes, congenital defects, autoimmune disorders, chronic infections, or long-term damage from substance abuse, you may have to undergo dual organ transplantation. Some patients may have a genetic predisposition to develop multiple organ failure, while others may experience organ damage as a result of an accident or injury. Patients undergo liver and kidney transplants because their liver and kidney fail to function. Those who have to undergo pancreas and kidney transplantation have kidney failure and suffer from insulin resistance (diabetes) simultaneously. Liver and kidney transplantation is recommended in case of Chronic Kidney Disease and defects in the liver at the same time.

Visit a top multispecialty hospital if you or your loved one needs a dual organ transplant in Old Airport Road. 

What to Expect from Dual Organ Transplant?

There are many advantages of dual organ transplants. Some of these are:

Two Organ Transplants Simultaneously

One of the significant benefits of a dual organ transplant is that you receive two organs simultaneously and do not need to undergo two surgeries separately.

Less Suffering

Undergoing surgery may drain a patient. When two organs are transplanted in one surgery, the patient is relieved from undergoing two surgeries. Thus, a dual organ transplant helps the patient avoid additional surgeries and recover faster.

Long-Term Outcomes

For patients with end-stage organ diseases, a dual organ transplant can greatly improve their quality of life and increase their life expectancy. 

Steps Involved in Dual Organ Transplant

There are different steps involved in the transplantation of various organs.

Kidney and Liver Transplant

To perform kidney and liver transplants together, the patient has to undergo a series of tests and evaluations such as a comprehensive medical evaluation, blood tests, and imaging studies, to determine if they are healthy enough to undergo the transplantation surgery. The liver and kidneys are often received from a deceased donor. The size of the liver must exceed 2% of the recipient's body weight. After the liver implantation, the single kidney is implanted into the right or left of the liver transplantation.

The liver will be transplanted in the following procedure:

The doctor will make an incision in your abdomen.

Blood vessels will be separated from your diseased liver.

The diseased liver will be replaced with a healthy liver.

The blood vessels will be reconnected.

The incision will be closed and the patient will be moved to the recovery room.

To transplant a kidney, the doctor will follow the procedure mentioned below:

The surgeon will place your kidney in the area of the lower abdomen. The new kidney is placed under the existing kidney. The existing kidney is removed if the doctor finds it is cancerous or leads to increased blood pressure.

Kidney and Pancreas Transplant

A simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplant is required when a patient suffers from kidney failure and diabetes and needs a very high insulin dose to control diabetes. Once the doctor confirms that you require a kidney and pancreas transplant through a complete medical assessment, blood tests, imaging tests, etc., you will wait for a donor kidney and pancreas. The doctor will test the compatibility when the donor's kidney and pancreas are available.

During the procedure, the surgeon will place the new kidney below the left side of the abdomen and connects the blood vessels to the kidney. The vein and artery are then connected to the new kidney, and the ureter of the new kidney is also connected to your bladder. After that, the new pancreas is placed below the right side of the abdomen and connects the blood vessels. The kidney and pancreas combined surgery take almost 5 to 7 hours and you may have to stay in the hospital for up to 2 weeks. 

The surgeon will monitor your condition for the next few days after the surgery, whether it is a combined liver and kidney transplant or a kidney and pancreas transplant. If everything is found normal, you will be discharged from the hospital with a post-transplant care module, which includes regular check-ups and monitoring of the function of the new organs. By following these guidelines and taking immunosuppressant medications as prescribed, patients can help ensure the long-term success of their dual organ transplant.

Risks Involved in Dual Transplants

Risks in dual organ transplants depend on the health of the patients. Since your surgeon will monitor your entire health, there is less chance of risk during the surgery. In rare cases, a patient undergoing dual transplant surgery may suffer bleeding, pain, and other infections.

Currently, dual organ transplant has emerged as an effective way for those who have suffered an acute disease. This transplant procedure is recommended when there is no other option left. The organs are received normally from a deceased patient, and you will be on a waiting list until the organs are available.

Consult a nephrologist in Old Airport Road if you require dual organ transplant services. 

FAQs

Name some complications of organ transplant.

Rejection, infection, high blood pressure, and delayed graft function are common complications of organ transplants. 

Which is the most complicated organ to transplant?

Lungs are the most complex organs for transplant as they are more susceptible to infections.

Can two organs be transplanted together?

Yes, two organs can indeed be transplanted together. This procedure is called a combined or dual organ transplant.

Someone get me off this Iron Seesaw

Haemochromatosis: An inherited genetic condition where the body absorbs iron at a greater rate than normal, that if left untreated results in damage of organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas.

It’s in my genes. It’s not going anywhere.

It’s something I’ve had to monitor, like a hawk, for the last 11 years. I spent parts of my uni degree diving into information and going to conferences to try and piece together what was going on, in a format that was easy for people (me) to consume. I’m not afraid to look up what the effects of iron on the brain are (oh what a mindfield that is), or to investigate what chelators are and who uses them (tl;dr: keep those things away from me).

At first it all seemed easy. Go to the blood bank once a month, have 500ml of blood taken. Get the iron down. As the iron comes down, reduce the frequency of visits. Easy.

Banned from the Blood Bank

One too many “Vasovagal syncope” episodes (fainting. Even though I never actually fainted, but that’s what’s gone down on my file) got me banned from the blood bank.

And it was terrifying. I was moving back home to the country, away from the city. Technically moving interstate, too, which I was reminded about the hard way when I needed to add a third medical professional into the mix because the hospital wouldn’t accept referrals from my city-based specialist in the other state. Even though technically, the hospital system is run by that state.

Yeah. You can see it coming too, right? That oncoming shitshow? Buckle up.

A Country Practice

As it stands, I’m an anomaly in terms of Haemochromatosis. The usual suspects are middle aged or elderly men. Not a young women barely out of their teens. You typically see people track diagnoses down a family tree, not up it. It’s still sometimes referred to as a “men’s disease” because somehow apparently menstruating magically protects people from absorbing too much iron. (My ferritin of 618 at 18 years old would like to disagree with that assumption, so much)

So luckily, by the time I head back to the country - with our wonky as all getout “your rules don’t apply to us” border bubble health system - we’ve actually got it under control. The treatment phase, to reduce the iron, has been completed. We just need to work out what the best regime for maintenance of that is. In order to get blood taken - after being banned by the blood bank, of course - we need specific paperwork from a specific set of doctors. Physicians. Not to be confused with GPs, because that would be far too easy, wouldn’t it?

So we start the rounds of Physician roulette - which sounds more fun than it is, when there’s only 5 of them in 2015 and by the time one goes on maternity leave, another retires, and a third goes on indefinite medical leave, there’s not many options left after 2 years. (This also includes the infamous-to-people-who-know-me Dr “Oh you’re self medicating”, who refused to request certain tests and denied hospital referrals because the levels were ‘fine’ and I was ‘self medicating with periods anyway’. Colour me not surprised that when I got the call to tell me my appointment was cancelled because he was going on medical leave, that it was back to square 1 with the GP instead of passing patients onto someone else for ongoing care like my previous Physician did.)

And that’s just to get the referral papers - which once they’ve been filled in, I have to hand-deliver to the hospital. Just don’t take the first left down the stairs, that’s how you find out the cafeteria is right next to the morgue. The hospital staff at Campus A were amazing though, even though they took so long because nobody is allowed to start them. They without fail would run off to find a surgeon (this was the Day Surgery unit, after all) to actually start the procedure. Once it was started they were fine, but routinely they would have to run around for 30-45 minutes just to find someone to start it.

Keep in mind this is all well before COVID. This is 2015-2018. They’re struggling to start a simple venesection procedure in 2015.

The Australian health system was royally fucked from long before SARS2 decided to go for a joy ride around the world.

Hospital Switch

It feels like I’ve been to three hospitals but it’s only two - they moved the day surgery (read: squashed) into another part of the hospital at Campus A so they could do renovations. I think I got maybe one venesection in the New Surgery (which the nurses all complained about, it looks nice but apparently was less functional), before trying to book another venesection to be told “they don’t do them at Campus A anymore”.

By this point they have finally decided that they don’t actually need a specialists’ letter for venesections - you could still get one but it would only last you 3 months, while a letter from your GP would last 12. So we can cut out the extra $120/visit costs just to get paperwork from the specialists! Fucking hurrah!

But what we save in time, we lose in having to cross the river to get to the other hospital campus. There’s a new contact number to keep on hand. They actually give you a time to come in, rather than just a day. Campus W also seems to have slightly better food options - after all, I never got offered ice cream or jelly after my venesections at Campus A! (Although I haven’t been offered it since, but I did get a muffin once!). They’re also very strict on making you stay for half an hour once you’ve finished your procedure. And the nurses have, as far as I can tell from my 5 visits, ready to start the venesection at the drop of a hat.

Ring Ring, why won't you give me a call?

Unfortunately it’s not all smooth sailing; I’ve gotten to the point where my old GP would ask me what levels we were looking for. Where I’m practically calling the shots and just getting a sign-off that I’m allowed to do it. It’s kind of cool - it’s kind of scary.

My levels have started going up again - scarily so, considering I’d had a venesection between tests. So I’m urgently trying to get myself in for another venesection. I got the new referral letter on Monday afternoon, and tried to follow up with a phone call to the Clinical Liason Officer.

Answering machine.

So I leave a message, and decide to try again later. Maybe she was just at lunch.

Tuesday comes and goes with multiple calls to the officer’s number, and nothing but answering machine.

Wednesday I try to call while at work, in case I have more chances of catching them in the office before lunch time. Nothing, nothing, nothing. In the afternoon, I decide to try my luck on something I hadn’t tried for a while. Not since the change on the letter requirements.

It was time to check in with the blood bank, one more time.

Last time I’d tried this, I sat down with one of the nurses at the blood bank in a room. We had a talk. Said that it was possible, but I should get another couple of venesections under my belt. I’ve had at least that, if not more by this point.

But I don’t even get to speak to a nurse. Reception wants to send me to my GP to get put on the high ferritin app. ”I already am” I reiterated, ”I was a therapeutic donor. I wanted to try and get the ban lifted”. The tone changed slightly - out of their control, they said. Handed me an A6 card and wrote the national number I nearly called to see if I needed to book ahead to talk to someone, and told me to speak to a medical director because they had more power than the staff at the branch.

So at this point it’s where I mention that for the last 5 years, I’ve increasingly noticed that the closer my iron gets to 100, the more irritable and tetchy I get. (There’s some kind of extra spicy fuckery going on with cycle-related emotions too. It’s like a party of angry beans when there’s high iron and pre-period hormones. Nothing is safe - not even those keys, jumping out of my bag for no reason and falling on the floor. Especially those.)

I go home, angry and frustrated and rather upset (not even the allure of a food reward for going and asking the question worked - the brain collective said a hard “No.”), and despite it being 5pm, gave the line a call. After all, I’d wasted that half hour going into town, what was another half hour on the phone?

The first person I spoke to seemed nice enough. Checked my file, tried to tell me I was a therapeutic donor (strangely enough, I knew that. It’s the special program they have for people that need blood taken at different intervals, like haemochromatosis patients). Eventually explained that I was trying to see if we could lift the ban, since it had been 8 years and I’d had plenty of venesections since then without a problem. That was beyond her powers, but she was going to transfer me to a nurse.

Of course the “episodes” were one of the first things that were mentioned.

“It says here you had 4 episodes of Vasovagal syncopes in 2014**. What’s changed?”

I don’t know if it’s just because the wording caught me off guard, or if it was the shortness of “What’s changed”. It felt very much like “you’ve had fainting episodes. Nothing’s changed that. You can’t undo those. End of conversation”.

I mentioned that it had been 8 years. That I was barely in my 20’s when that happened. That I’m no longer in the city taking public transport, which was apparently an issue at the time, and that I’m driving myself to my appointments now with no issues. That I’ve had 5 venesections I’ve successfully taken myself to and from. (As of writing, 28 in total. 16 at the blood bank, and 12 at the hospital)

“You’re still a safety risk. You could faint while driving and cause an accident.”

It kind of feels like a kick in the guts - to be told despite all the work you’ve done over the last 8 years, of trying to do your best to get through venesections without any major mishaps, building little rituals around venesection day? That it’s not good enough. That none of it is good enough. That the pat on the back you’re giving yourself for being able to drive to and from a venesection is really being a “safety risk”. That hundreds of people drive themselves to the blood bank and back, but you are the one that’s a risk because of how you reacted 8 years ago (or more).

**BTW I’m 99% sure this claim of “4 Vasovagal syncopes in 2014” is False, actually.

November 2011: First blood donation ever. People *routinely* have a bad first donation because the body is freaking out. Mine just freaked out, went green, and took 4 hours to stop feeling light headed enough that I could go home (with friend who drove me and came as support). Is that REALLY a first strike against me?

- ??? I don’t know honestly. But chances are this was a dodo moment from me, where I unfortunately aligned procedural bleeding with monthly “self medicated” bleeding.

(& 4)- 2014 sometime: I remember these because it was the same nurse both times!! Once they put the needle in and then had to keep jiggling it around to get it to go, and I’m pretty sure that set me up for a poor reaction. The other time, they put the needle in and (vocally) observed that it was bleeding around the needle.

NOTE: none of these were episodes where I actually fainted. I got light headed, and the world span a bit, but I never passed out. Even my worse at the hospital didn’t knock me out (but oh boy it came close. And I know 100% that was because the tourniquet was too tight, and the rush of blood when they took it off is why my hearing went all funny and my vision was full of dots and the world spun really badly. But I know now to make a fuss if it’s too tight, if my arm goes red or purple, and not just ‘grin and bear it’.)

But that phrase sticks in my mind. “You’re a safety risk”. It’s probably going to sit there on the mental shelf, right next to “You’re self medicating”.

So the blood bank is - yet again - a write off. Maybe I’ll try again. Maybe I’ll get mad and make a list of all the ways I’ve improved with my approach to venesections. Or maybe I’ll give them away as a joke.

It’d be easier if they weren’t a nation-wide system.

Missing in Action

With the blood bank scrapped again from the options list, it brings me back to the hospital. Campus W. Chasing down Clinical Liason Officer. Because it’s the ONLY thing I could do at the time, I scan my referral and send an email. Just in case it’ll get a response. Thursday rolls around and still no dice from calling. Even the standard hospital number in the hopes that someone might be able to actually collar the officer and get a response, only gets me transferred to the same line that results in the answering machine.

So I grab my physical copy of the letter. Stuff my other notebooks with contact details into my bag, and choof over the river. Phones and emails hadn’t worked - but surely if I walked in there, someone would know something.

And they did.

Turns out the Clinical Lliason Officer is away. By the sounds of it, they’ve been away probably the whole time I’ve been trying to get in touch. There’s nobody filling their position while they’re gone. The hospital staff don’t know when she’ll be back. They hope it’ll be “Next Week”. There’s a side comment made about “if she isn’t back we’ll find someone to fill in that position”.

One person to book and schedule people for procedures across two campuses that serve close to 70,000 people.

And they don’t know when she’ll be back.

“If it’s pressing, you can go back to your GP to find an alternative or you can go to the ED”

This is just trying to book one single venesection. Just asking someone to take 500ml of blood. Something that’s an ongoing process and requires monitoring. It’s a regional city, but it’s not /rural/. We’re supposed to be a hub for other more rural towns. But I’ve lost track of the phone calls made, the time going to ask people questions. The time lost to being pushed back when trying to look at all my options. (Not that there are many of them).

It should not be this difficult.

Reasons To Visit The Best Gastroenterologist In Westchester County, White Plains, New Rochelle, Bronxville, and Yonkers, NY

Normal life can be affected by minor yet niggling issues such as bloating and occasional abdominal pain. Flatulence and other associated problems are embarrassing as well. Sure, most digestive issues may be treated with OTC drugs. Still, continuous or persistent abdominal problems require intervention by the best gastroenterologist in Westchester County, White Plains, New Rochelle, Bronxville, and Yonkers, NY.

The patient may visit a general physician or request the opinion of the family doctor first.Complex complaints may not be treated perfectly unless examined by an expert. Thus, it makes sense to look for the top gastroenterologist in the vicinity before following a self-treatment plan.

It suffices to know that a gastroenterologist is a medical professional specializing in all kinds of problems related to the digestive system. Their training equips them with special skills required for the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of all digestive system problems. Furthermore, the certificate that they earn at the end of their studies makes them capable of performing multiple diagnostic tests and procedures that general physicians cannot do.

While the general practitioner advises the simple solutions, consistent symptoms such as the following need to be checked by a gastroenterologist once the general doctor cannot treat the underlying condition and refers the patient to such an expert:

· Abdominal pain · Bloating · Indigestion · Gas and pain · Nausea and vomiting · Diarrhea · Constipation · Bleeding from the rectum · Unexplained weight loss or weight gain · Heartburn · Jaundice

Conditions Treated by The gastroenterologist

The gastroenterologist confirms the diagnosis by checking the symptoms followed by diagnostic tests. The specialist devises a treatment plan with the following conditions usually treated by this specialist doctor:

· Pancreatic, biliary, and gallbladder diseases like Gallstones, Pancreatitis, or Cholecystitis · Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) · Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) · Food allergies and intolerances such as the Celiac disease · Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) · Stomach ulcers · Diverticulitis · Appendicitis (This is usually treated by surgery when the condition is acute) · Colorectal polyps · Hemorrhoids · Esophageal disorders that make Swallowing difficult · Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) · Esophagitis · Hiatal hernias · Liver diseases that include Viral hepatitis, Toxic hepatitis, Fatty liver disease, and Cirrhosis

Tests Advised by a gastroenterologist

Physical examination is the first method of being convinced of a health problem. The expert may order several blood and stool tests to corroborate their diagnosis. However, many gastroenterologists also examine the insides of the intestines with an endoscope to discover the root cause. The endoscopic procedures vary according to the problem. The following methods can provide significant results in diagnosis and treatment:

10 Warning Signs of Gastrointestinal Diseases: When to See a Doctor

Our digestive system plays a critical part in maintaining overall health, and when something goes wrong, it’s important to act quickly. In India, gastrointestinal( GI) conditions are more common than many realize, affecting 7 out of every 10 people at some point. Recognizing early warning signs can result in significant differences in receiving timely and effective treatment. Consulting an expert like Dr. N Subrahmaneswara Babu, widely regarded as the best gastroenterologist in Hyderabad, ensures you get the best possible care for your digestive health.

What Is a Gastroenterologist?

A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the digestive system. This includes your esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and rectum. These specialists are trained to treat conditions like acid reflux( GERD), gallstones, irritable bowel syndrome( IBS), Crohn’s complaints, and many others.

What Does a Gastroenterologist Do?

A gastroenterologist provides care for patients witnessing digestive troubles. They achieve tests like endoscopies, colonoscopies, and biopsies to check for effects such as ulcers, polyps, or inflammation. They can also suggest lifestyle changes, prescribe drugs, or recommend surgery for more serious conditions.

Now, let’s take a look at,

10 Signs You Need to See a Gastroenterologist:

 Persistent Abdominal Pain: If you have been experiencing constant or recurring pain in your stomach, it might be a sign of an underlying digestive problem. Conditions like ulcers, gallstones, or IBS can affect abdominal pain. However, it’s time to seek expert guidance from the Digestive health specialist in Hyderabad, similar to Dr. N Subrahmaneswara Babu if the pain lasts for days and may worsen.

Frequent Heartburn or Acid Reflux: Occasional heartburn is common, but if you are feeling that burning sensation in your chest constantly, it could be GERD( Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). Left untreated, GERD can cause damage to the esophagus. A gastroenterologist can help diagnose and treat this condition.

Unexplained Weight Loss: Losing weight without any changes in your diet or physical activity can be a red flag. Unintentional weight loss could be linked to serious conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or even cancer. Consulting a specialist like Dr. N Subrahmaneswara Babu can assist in identifying the cause.

Difficulty Swallowing: If you’re having trouble swallowing food or liquids (known as dysphagia), it may be a sign of an issue in your esophagus. Problems like achalasia or esophageal strictures could be the reason behind it, and timely treatment is essential.

Persistent Diarrhea or Constipation: Everyone experiences digestive problems from time to time, but if you are having persistent diarrhea or constipation, it may point to conditions like IBS, colitis, or colon cancer. These symptoms should never be ignored if they last for more than a few weeks.

Blood in Your Stool: Seeing blood in your coprolite, whether it’s bright red or darkish, can be alarming. This could be a signal of hemorrhoids, ulcers, or colon cancer. A gastroenterologist will assist to determine the cause and give the right treatment.

Bloating and Gas: Frequent bloating, gas, or a feeling of fullness can indicate conditions like lactose intolerance, IBS, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth( SIBO). These symptoms may look minor but can significantly affect your quality of life if left untreated.

Unexplained Fatigue: Feeling constantly tired or weak, even after a full night’s sleep, could be a signal of malabsorption. Conditions like celiac disease or chronic liver disease can affect how your body absorbs nutrients, leading to fatigue.

Jaundice (Yellowing of the Skin or Eyes): If you notice yellowing of your skin or eyes, it could be a sign of liver disease or bile duct problems. These conditions require immediate medical attention, and a gastroenterologist like Dr. N. Subrahmaneswara Babu can help diagnose and treat them.

Change in Bowel Habits: Any significant change in your bowel habits, whether it’s in the frequency, consistency, or color of your coprolite, should be watched. These changes can occasionally indicate conditions like IBD( Inflammatory Bowel complaint), colon polyps, or cancer.

When Should You See a Gastroenterologist?

If you’re experiencing any of the above symptoms, it’s essential to consult a gastroenterologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Dr. N. Subrahmaneswara Babu, one of the best GI specialists in Hyderabad, has years of experience treating a wide range of gastrointestinal diseases.

What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to view the inside of your gastrointestinal tract. It allows doctors to examine the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and even the liver and pancreas. Through this procedure, doctors can detect conditions such as inflammation, ulcers, tumors, or other abnormalities in the digestive system.

Endoscopy is a powerful tool for diagnosing issues like liver swelling, gastrointestinal bleeding, or even cancers of the digestive organs. It’s also useful for carrying out biopsies, removing polyps, and treating conditions that would otherwise require more invasive surgery.

Why is Endoscopy Important for Liver Treatment in Jaipur?

For those seeking Liver Treatment in Jaipur, endoscopy plays an essential role. Liver Swelling Treatment in Jaipur, for example, often requires an endoscopic examination to determine the cause of the swelling and to decide on the best course of action. Conditions such as fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver infections often need detailed imaging that endoscopy provides.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, or indigestion, an endoscopy might be recommended to detect the exact cause of these issues.

Benefits of Endoscopy for Liver and Digestive Health:

Early Diagnosis: Endoscopy allows gastroenterologists to detect liver issues such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, or liver tumors at an early stage when treatment is most effective.

Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional surgical methods, endoscopy requires small incisions or no incisions at all, making it a safer and less painful option for diagnosing liver conditions.

Accurate Imaging: The high-resolution cameras used in endoscopy provide detailed, real-time images, enabling precise identification of problems that may not be visible through other diagnostic methods like X-rays or ultrasounds.

Treatment and Prevention: Endoscopic procedures can not only diagnose but also treat certain conditions, such as removing polyps, draining fluid, or placing stents in blocked areas.

Liver Swelling and Other Liver Conditions: How Endoscopy Helps

Liver swelling, or hepatomegaly, is a common condition that often requires endoscopic evaluation to understand its cause. This could be related to infection, alcohol use, fatty liver disease, or even cancer. Endoscopy in Mansarovar Jaipur helps in identifying the exact cause of the swelling and aids doctors in determining whether further treatment, such as biopsy or drainage, is necessary.

For patients with chronic liver issues like cirrhosis or hepatitis, endoscopy plays a key role in monitoring the liver’s health, allowing specialists to track the progression of the disease and adjust treatments as needed.

Piles Treatment in Mansarovar Jaipur: A Complementary Service

While not a direct liver issue, piles treatment in Mansarovar Jaipur often intersects with gastroenterology. Piles, or hemorrhoids, can sometimes cause complications in patients with liver diseases or gastrointestinal conditions. Many Gastro Doctors in Mansarovar Jaipur offer integrated care for digestive and rectal health, providing comprehensive services for both liver and piles treatments.

GI doctor was much kinder and more sympathetic. She said that they didn't see any gall stones on the scan, so what caused all this was likely a stone getting stuck in the duct and then him passing it. So, her job was done. Now it's just focusing on the pancreas.

Just as we were about to leave, the Physician herself finally came in the room and sorta gave us the run down of what was going on.

She said the pancreas is swollen/ inflamed, so they're waiting for that to go down before doing surgery. The IV fluids are doing their job helping with that, but unfortunately it's also causing a little backup in his lungs, which is what the repeated CAT scans are for. They're watching his liver and kidney function to make sure they keep improving too. So while the IV is causing a bit of an issue, it's still the best thing for him

He asked about pain meds and she said they'll "make a plan" and he got visibly upset because they keep saying that and not changing anything, so she promised to try upping him to every 3 hours rather than 4, and he was happy with that. I guess they're also going to a pill version now that they know he can pass waste, and the pill version supposedly lasts a little longer. They gave him a different med right there, to hold him over until that next dose

They're working on getting his heart doctor's approval for the gallbladder surgery later this week. The scary part. He has heart issues so anesthesia is always scary. But if he doesn't get it done, he risks passing a gall stone like this again and having it happen all over again, and he definitely doesn't want that.

Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky’s medical license was suspended after he mistakenly removed the liver of 70-year-old William Bryan instead of his spleen during surgery at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Florida. Despite concerns about his skills and staffing, the operation went ahead, resulting in Bryan's death. This incident, along with a previous surgical error involving a patient's pancreas, led to the suspension by Florida's State Surgeon General. Bryan's widow plans to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, highlighting the need for better oversight in surgical procedures.

Can an Endoscopic Ultrasound Help with Digestive Issues?

Digestive issues can range from mild discomfort to severe conditions that significantly impact a person's quality of life. Diagnosing the root cause of digestive problems often requires advanced medical imaging techniques, and one such procedure is an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). An EUS combines endoscopy and ultrasound technology to provide detailed images of the digestive tract and nearby organs. If you are experiencing unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms and are seeking advanced diagnostic tools, an endoscopic ultrasound scan service in Gurgaon may be the answer.

Here’s how an EUS can help with diagnosing and treating digestive issues:

What Is an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)?

An Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate conditions in the digestive system. During an EUS, a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope is inserted through the mouth and gently guided down into the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine. At the tip of the endoscope is a small ultrasound probe, which uses sound waves to create detailed images of the digestive tract and surrounding tissues. This combination allows doctors to assess internal organs such as the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, and lymph nodes more accurately.

The procedure is highly beneficial in diagnosing a variety of gastrointestinal issues, including chronic abdominal pain, pancreatic cysts, and even tumors. If you live in Gurgaon, you can access this state-of-the-art diagnostic technique by opting for an EUS in Gurgaon, where experienced specialists are available to perform the procedure.

How Can EUS Help with Digestive Issues?

Identifying the Cause of Abdominal Pain

One of the main reasons for conducting an EUS is to identify the source of chronic or unexplained abdominal pain. Traditional imaging methods like X-rays or CT scans may not always provide enough detail to pinpoint the problem, especially if it’s related to the pancreas, bile ducts, or lymph nodes. EUS can give doctors a closer look at these structures, helping to uncover issues such as gallstones, tumors, or cysts that may be causing the pain.

Detecting and Staging Cancers

EUS is particularly valuable in detecting and staging cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, such as pancreatic, esophageal, and stomach cancers. By providing high-resolution images of tumors and nearby lymph nodes, an EUS allows doctors to assess the size and spread of the cancer. This information is critical for planning appropriate treatment options, which could range from surgery to chemotherapy.

If you have been advised to undergo an EUS for cancer detection or staging, finding a reliable endoscopic ultrasound scan service in Gurgaon ensures that you receive accurate results from trained professionals.

Diagnosing Pancreatic Conditions

The pancreas is a tricky organ to visualize with regular imaging methods. EUS is considered one of the best ways to evaluate pancreatic conditions, including pancreatitis, cysts, and tumors. The detailed images produced by the ultrasound probe help doctors make a more accurate diagnosis and guide treatment plans.

Assessing Bile Duct and Gallbladder Issues

Digestive problems like jaundice, persistent nausea, or unexplained weight loss may be linked to bile duct or gallbladder disorders. EUS can help diagnose issues such as bile duct stones, blockages, or cancers that affect these organs. Because it can provide clear images of the bile ducts, EUS often leads to quicker and more effective treatment.

Guiding Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA)

In some cases, an EUS may be used to guide a fine-needle aspiration (FNA). This procedure involves using a thin needle to take a sample of tissue from a suspected tumor or cyst for further examination. The EUS allows the doctor to precisely guide the needle to the right spot, reducing the risk of complications and improving the accuracy of the biopsy.

Why Choose an EUS in Gurgaon?

Gurgaon is home to some of the country’s most advanced medical facilities, offering cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment services. Opting for an EUS in Gurgaon ensures that you receive high-quality care from experienced gastroenterologists and radiologists.
