TOP MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SPECIALITIES OFFERED BY NARAYANA SUPERSPECIALITY HOSPITAL, GUWAHATI 1. ANGIOPLASTY 2. GLOMERULONEPHRITIS 3. CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE • ANGIOPLASTY Angioplasty is a procedure by which the blood flow to the artery is restored. If you have coronary artery disease, you might need angioplasty. In coronary artery disease, the arteries of the heart are blocked because of plaque deposits. This narrowing or blockage of the arteries can cause chest pain which is characteristic of coronary artery disease, also known as a heart attack. You should visit the emergency department of Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Guwahati if you experience chest pain. If your emergency doctors suspect that you have a heart attack, they will urgently call a cardiologist. The cardiologist may use angioplasty to reduce chest pain by eliminating the blockage in the vessels that supply the heart. Before angioplasty, you will be given anesthesia to help make you numb and sleep. The specialist will then pass a thin tube with a tiny deflated balloon through a blood vessel in the arm or groin area up to the involved site of the artery in the heart. When the tube reaches the correct place, the specialist will inflate the balloon, which will push the plague against the wall of the affected artery. This creates space and widens the artery, which restores the blood flow. After angioplasty, you will be shifted to a recovery area where you will be observed for a few hours. Once you are better, you will be shifted to your room to stay for one night and return home the next day. • GLOMERULONEPHRITIS Glomerulonephritis is a term used for kidney diseases that damage the filters of the kidney called glomeruli. When the kidney gets injured, it cannot excrete the waste and extra fluid from the blood into the urine. This accumulates waste and extra fluids inside the body. If the illness is non-treated on time, it can make the kidneys stop working completely, causing kidney failure. The early symptoms of glomerulonephritis include puffiness of the face in the morning, brown color urine, and passing less urine than usual. Some individuals may experience shortness of breath and cough because of the accumulation of extra fluid in the lungs. If the disease persists for several years, patients can also develop high blood pressure and get swelling of the ankles, foamy urine, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, itchy skin, and nighttime muscle cramps. Glomerulonephritis can develop due to various reasons. Sometimes the disease runs in the family.

Some of the treatment options for glomerulonephritis include symptomatic management, water pills, an artificial kidney machine, controlling high blood pressure, antibiotics and plasmapheresis. Your doctor will also encourage you to make lifestyle changes, including a controlled diet with decreased protein, salt, and potassium. • CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a term used for progressive lung diseases that makes it difficult to breathe and mainly has two types, Emphysema, and Chronic bronchitis. In a healthy lung, the airways and air sacs are elastic and stretchy. When you breathe in, the airways fill the air sacs with air. When you exhale out, the air goes out, and the air sacs deflate. In COPD, airways and air sacs become inflamed and less elastic, which decreases the flow of air in and out of the lungs. The airways also start making mucus more than usual and become clogged. There are various causes for COPD, with cigarette smoking being the most common cause. Other causes include inhalation of irritants, secondhand smoking, air pollution, and exposure to work-related chemical fumes and dust. If you have COPD, you may have a frequent cough with a lot of mucus, noisy breathing, difficulty breathing with physical activity, and tightness in your chest. You may also get frequent chest infections. If you are having any of these complaints, you should consult a doctor at Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Guwahati.
