Diagnosis and Treatment Procedures

The Global Hospitals Liver Institute is an end to end liver diseases diagnosis, treatment and liver

transplant centre in India. The doctors of liver disease use these diagnostic and treatment tools to

determine the type of liver disease and extent of liver damage.

Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy procedure is used to have an intensive look at the large intestine or colon.

In order to conduct this procedure, the doctors use a long and flexible colonoscope which has a camera

attached to it. This colonoscope is attached to a video monitor that shows the interior of the colon.

There are many problems that can be detected through a colonoscopy like:

Screening for liver cancer

Bleeding inside the colon

Checking primary lesion in colon

Patients who complain of symptoms like severe constipation, altered bowel movements as well as

bleeding from the rectum may be advised to undergo a colonoscopy to rule out dangerous liver

diseases.

Paracentisis: Some patients suffer from a liver disease called ascites. Ascites is basically a condition in

which peritoneal fluid has collected in the abdominal cavity. Such a condition may be caused due to liver

diseases, infections, inflammations, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer and abdominal injury. In this

procedure, the doctors use a needle to get a sample of the fluid from the abdominal cavity through the

abdominal wall. This fluid is then sent to lab at Global Hospitals to determine the reason behind the

buildup of fluid. Patients suffering from acute conditions like liver cancer and chronic liver cirrhosis

undergo paracentisis to reduce the pressure by draining the fluid as much as possible.

Biopsy: In this diagnostic procedure, doctors insert a long needle in the area between the ribs. This

needle collects samples of liver tissue from the area. These samples are then processed at the lab to rule

out or determine liver diseases.

These are just a few of the diagnostic and treatment tools used at the best hospital for liver transplant

in India – Global Hospitals.
