Pulmonary Care with Expert Diagnosis and Treatment for All Pulmonary Conditions.
Pulmonary Care
Our Pulmonary Care services encompass a full range of lung-related conditions, providing expert diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ongoing management to help patients breathe easier and live healthier lives.
Obstructive Lung Diseases
- Asthma: A chronic condition where airway inflammation and constriction cause wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A progressive disease that makes breathing difficult due to long-term damage to the lungs and airways.
- Chronic Bronchitis: Persistent inflammation of the bronchial tubes causing long-term cough with mucus production.
- Emphysema: A form of COPD in which damaged air sacs reduce the lungs’ ability to transfer oxygen efficiently.
- Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE): A rare condition involving both scarring and overinflation of lung tissue, leading to severe shortness of breath.
Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs)
- Pulmonary Fibrosis: A chronic lung disease where scar tissue builds up, making it harder for lungs to work properly.
- Interstitial Pneumonitis: Inflammation within the lung’s interstitium that affects oxygen exchange and breathing function.
- Sarcoidosis: An inflammatory disease that can cause small clumps of cells (granulomas) to form in the lungs and other organs.
Pulmonary Vascular Diseases
- Pulmonary Embolism (PE): A blockage in a lung artery, usually caused by blood clots traveling from the legs.
- Pulmonary Hypertension (PH): High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs that can strain the heart and reduce oxygen levels.
- Spirometry: A diagnostic breathing test that measures how well your lungs move air in and out.
Pulmonary Infections
- Aspergillosis: A fungal infection caused by Aspergillus that can affect the lungs and other parts of the body.
- Atypical Mycobacterial Infections (MAI): Lung infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria that resemble tuberculosis but progress more slowly.
- Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tubes, often causing coughing, mucus production, and chest discomfort.
- Histoplasmosis: A fungal infection acquired by inhaling spores found in soil contaminated with bird or bat droppings.
- Pneumonia: An infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, leading to cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.
- Tuberculosis (TB): A contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs and can cause chronic cough and weight loss.
Other Pulmonary Conditions
- Bronchiectasis: A chronic condition where airways become permanently widened, leading to mucus buildup and recurrent infections.
- Chronic Cough: A persistent cough lasting eight weeks or longer, often linked to underlying lung or airway conditions.
- Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath): A symptom of many pulmonary disorders characterized by difficulty or discomfort while breathing.
- Lung Nodules: Small, round growths in the lungs that are often benign but require monitoring or evaluation.
- Lung Cancer: A malignant growth in lung tissue that interferes with breathing and may spread to other parts of the body.
- Pleural Effusions: A buildup of excess fluid between the layers of tissue lining the lungs and chest cavity.
Early diagnosis and treatment make all the difference in managing lung conditions.
