Types of Diseases
We provide expert care for a wide range of acute, chronic, and complex medical conditions.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the joints. It commonly affects the small joints of the hands, wrists, and feet, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Over time, RA can damage cartilage and bone, leading to joint deformity and loss of function. Patients may also experience fatigue, low-grade fever, and weight loss. Early diagnosis is important to prevent long-term complications. With proper management, many patients can lead active and fulfilling lives.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, often called Lupus, is a complex autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs including the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, heart, and brain. It occurs when the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Common symptoms include joint pain, rashes (often butterfly-shaped on the face), fatigue, hair loss, and fever. SLE has flare-ups and remission phases, meaning symptoms may come and go. Since it can mimic other diseases, diagnosis requires careful evaluation and lab tests.
Vasculitis is a group of rare disorders that cause inflammation of blood vessels. The exact cause is not known but vasculitis is often linked to autoimmune activity, infections, or certain medications. The inflammation can make blood vessel walls thick, weak, or narrow, reducing blood flow to important organs and tissues. The condition may affect arteries, veins, or capillaries, and the symptoms vary depending on which organs are involved. Common signs include unexplained fever, fatigue, weight loss, skin rashes, numbness, or pain in joints and muscles. Some patients may also develop kidney problems, breathing difficulties, or nerve issues.
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of chronic inflammatory arthritis that mainly affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. It causes pain and stiffness in the lower back, hips, and sometimes the neck. Symptoms often begin in young adults, especially men, and tend to worsen gradually over time. Prolonged inflammation can lead to fusion of spinal bones, reducing flexibility and causing a stooped posture in severe cases. Other symptoms may include fatigue, eye inflammation, and stiffness that improves with exercise but not with rest.
Types of Treatment
We offer advanced treatments including the latest medical procedures to ensure fast and effective recovery.
This is one of the preferred treatments for many autoimmune and rheumatologic conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Psoriatic Arthritis. Unlike painkillers that only reduce symptoms, these drugs work by targeting the underlying disease process. They help slow or even stop disease progression, preventing long-term joint and organ damage. Commonly used DMARDs include methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide, and sulfasalazine. These medicines usually take a few weeks to months to show full effect, so they are often combined with short-term anti-inflammatory treatment.
Biologics are advanced medicines designed to specifically target parts of the immune system that drive inflammation. They are commonly used when patients do not respond adequately to conventional drugs. These treatments are usually given as injections or infusions under specialist supervision. Biologics can provide remarkable improvement in symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and protect against long-term joint damage. Since they suppress parts of the immune system, it may cause infections or other side effects. Targeted therapies offer a new hope for patients with severe autoimmune and rheumatologic conditions.
Corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are powerful medicines used to quickly relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness. They are especially helpful during acute flare-ups when symptoms are severe and need rapid control. Corticosteroids can be given orally, as injections, or directly into inflamed joints for faster relief. However, they are generally used for short durations because long-term use can cause side effects like weight gain, high blood pressure, and bone thinning. The goal is to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest period while transitioning patients to safer, disease-controlling treatments.
In certain complex autoimmune conditions, advanced treatments such as Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG), plasmapheresis, and infusion therapies are recommended. Alongside medical treatments, supportive care plays a vital role in recovery and long-term well-being. This includes physiotherapy to maintain joint flexibility, occupational therapy for daily activity support, and pain management strategies. Nutritional advice, exercise guidance, and stress management are also integrated into care plans. By combining immunotherapy with supportive care, patients receive holistic treatment tailored to both medical and lifestyle needs.

FAQ's
A Rheumatologist specializes in diagnosing and treating autoimmune, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal diseases. These include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Psoriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Gout, and other connective tissue or immune system disorders.
You should consult a rheumatologist if you experience persistent joint pain, stiffness (especially in the morning), unexplained swelling, fatigue, or symptoms like rashes and recurrent fevers. Early consultation helps in timely diagnosis and prevents long-term complications.
Most autoimmune and rheumatologic conditions are chronic, meaning they cannot be completely cured. However, with modern treatments such as Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs, biologics, and lifestyle management, the disease can be well-controlled, and patients can live active and healthy lives.
The department offers a wide range of treatments including Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), Biologics and targeted therapies, corticosteroids, pain management, and advanced options like IVIG and plasmapheresis. Supportive care like physiotherapy and diet counseling is also provided.
Yes, most modern treatments are safe when monitored properly. Since some medicines can affect the immune system or other organs, regular blood tests and check-ups are necessary. With medical supervision, long-term therapy helps control symptoms and prevents disease progression safely.
