-- Liv Hospital today announced the expansion of its rheumatology program, offering advanced diagnosis, evidence-based therapies, and multidisciplinary management for a broad spectrum of autoimmune, inflammatory, and degenerative rheumatic diseases. This initiative supports the hospital’s commitment to delivering specialized care that reduces pain, preserves mobility, and improves long-term quality of life for patients with chronic rheumatologic conditions.
Rheumatology is the medical specialty focused on disorders that affect joints, connective tissues, and organs impacted by systemic inflammation and autoimmunity. Rheumatic diseases encompass more than 200 conditions, many of which require precise evaluation and ongoing management to prevent complications and disability.
Wide Range of Conditions Managed by Rheumatologists at Liv Hospital
Liv Hospital’s rheumatology specialists diagnose and treat both common and complex disorders across key categories:
Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- Spondyloarthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis
- Vasculitis and other inflammatory vascular disorders
Degenerative and Mechanical Disorders
- Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Fibromyalgia
- Gout and pseudogout
Soft Tissue and Systemic Conditions
- Polymyalgia rheumatica
- Myositis
- Connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma
These conditions often share symptoms such as pain, swelling, stiffness, fatigue, and functional limitations, making specialist evaluation essential for accurate diagnosis.
Diagnostic Tools and Clinical Evaluation
Rheumatologists at Liv Hospital utilize a comprehensive diagnostic process, including:
- Detailed clinical history and physical examination
- Blood testing for inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP) and specific autoantibodies (RF, anti-CCP, ANA)
- Metabolic and immune function panels
- Diagnostic imaging such as X-ray, ultrasound, and MRI
- Synovial fluid analysis or biopsy, when necessary
This integrative approach ensures precise identification of disease patterns and guides individualized treatment strategies.
Therapeutic Approaches and Modern Treatment Options
Management plans are designed to control inflammation, preserve joint function, and minimize long-term damage. Treatment options include:
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Corticosteroids for targeted anti-inflammatory effects
- Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as methotrexate
- Biologic therapies targeting specific immune pathways
- Targeted synthetic agents and small-molecule drugs
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs
- Surgical referral in cases of advanced joint damage
Regular monitoring allows treatment modification and early detection of complications.
