Credihealth helps daughter find Nephrologists in Bangalore for mother

Nephrology is the medical science of studying and treating diseases and disorders of the renal system (kidney function, kidney failure, etc. )  Kidneys, like most other organs of the human body are vital to our lives. They purify blood of all its impurities and help produce urine that carries away all the waste from our bodies through the bladder. In addition to that kidneys are also responsible for maintaining the fluid balance in our bodies, regulating blood pressure and controling the production of red blood cells in the body.

Diabetes is a disease that hampers the body's ability to either produce adequate insulin or reduces its ability to respond to the produced insulin. What is important to note here is the relationship of the disease with kidneys. A person with diabetes producing high blood sugar, runs serious risk of kidney damage, which can result in chronic kidney disease. Since the damage is gradual, it can sometimes be difficult to detect the problem at an early stage. It is also a known fact that Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease.

Sheetal Adhikari, a native of Bangalore was working in Mumbai when she found out about her mother's medical condition. Her kidneys were suffering because of her ill health and poor diabetes management. While Mrs.Adhikari had a regular diabetes doctor, she was advised to see a kidney specialist. Her daughter, Sheetal,  immediately called up Credihealth and asked us to find the best nephrologist in Bangalore for her mother. We gave them three options and Sheetal chose one of them. Her mother saw the doctor immediately and started her treatement. She is now in a better condition and is making necessary lifestyle changes to lead a healthier life.

Find Liver Transplant Specialists in Bangalore

Liver is a vital organ of our bodies. In case it fails to function properly, all the important functions that it performs including detoxifying the body of toxic substances and releasing bile- which is crucial for the digestive system; cease to work. That is why in case of acute or chronic liver failure, a liver transplant is necessary.

Liver transplant refers to a surgical procedure in which a healthy liver or a part of it is transplanted from a cadaver donor (recently diseased person with a healthy, functioning liver) or a living donor to someone who has a damaged or an infected liver. Liver is an organ that regenerates from a small part of itself and becomes a whole after a short period of time- that is the reason why a healthy relative can easily donate a part of his/her liver without facing any serious health related after-effects. 

Rituparna Nag, a resident of Asansol, Kolkata, was in Bangalore for a few months for business when, her excessive drinking caught up with her. Since the irreversible liver dysfunction, her only option was to have a transplant, but she learned that the hard way.

Cirrhosis, caused by long-term alcohol abuse, is a serious disease. Rituparna had been feeling weak and was loosing weight but she didn't pay much heed to these symptoms. It was only later when her health got much worse she knew she had to see a specialist. Unaware of the best health providers in the city, she called us up and asked us to find her a Liver Transplant specialist in Bangalore, as suggested by her family doctor in Kolkata. During our follow-up calls she confirmed that she was going for the transplant in the upcoming days and was positive about her recovery.

Gastroenterologist in Bangalore | Credihealth

The digestive system of a human body is extremely complex. Starting from the mouth and ending at anus- the system is about 9 meters long. As our lifestyles and eating habits have changed over the years, our bodies are still struggling to adapt to it. A large amount of processed food and food polluted & laced with chemicals and pesticides, has hampered our bodies and particularly our digestive systems.

As a result many of us face common digestive problems like indigestion, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation among other things. However, there are some problems that are more troublesome than others.

GERD or Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a disorder that affects the lower oesophegal sphincter (LES). Gerd causes the acids from the stomach to reach the oesophagus, which in turn causes irritation in the inner lining of the stomach. While in most cases, appropriate changes in diet and lifestyle can improve the symptoms, in severe cases, medication and surgery may be required.

Credihealth helps you find the best cardiologists in Hyderabad

Cardiologist in Hyderabad
The number of people with cardiological ailments is rising at an alarming rate in India. According to most reports, the percentage of these people increased most in the last two decades- urbanization being the biggest responsible factor. While many believe that the rising number of smokers and drinkers is adding on to the number, this alone is not the reason for the recent findings.

Increased exposure to pollution, unhealthy eating habits, irregular and less than adequate hours of sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, among other things; are contributing factors for the same. According to a report by DNA, about 60 percent of heart disease patients who die worldwide, are Indians.

One of the common cardiological ailments affecting a large percentage of the urban population is Atherosclerosis, which stands for a disease which causes stiffening or hardening of the walls of arteries. A person suffering from Atherosclerosis, has narrowed arteries due to accumulation of plaque, the signs of which are like chest pain, angina, shortness of breath and fatigue.

This condition usually begins in childhood but is sadly only detected at a very later stage. The same was the case with Amita Sharma. 53 years-old and a resident of Hyderabad, Amita was suddenly feeling extremely uneasy. She was sweating and was short of breath. Fearing a serious heart problem, her daughter Shweta called us up and asked us to find her mother a Cardiologist in Hyderabad, not too far from her place. Soon, Amita was rushed to the hospital and her doctor started her on treatment.

Cancer Specialist in Hyderabad helps patient with stomach cancer

Cancer has no particular known cause. You can lead an unhealthy lifestyle; eat and sleep at different times everyday, never exercise and smoke- but you may still not get cancer. On the other hand, despite leading a healthy lifestyle, one may end up being a victim to the disease. Age, which is thought to be an important factor when determining one's chances of getting cancer; is not a definitive indicator either, as people of all ages can have cancer.

So how can one ensure that she or he stray clear of the disease? Sadly, there is no single answer to this. Leading a healthy life, where the body gets ample nutrition, exercise and rest is your best bet. This will not only reduce your chances of getting cancer substantially- it will also help build immunity, which in turn will protect you from many other health ailments.
