Gastroenterology in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi, the vibrant capital of the United Arab Emirates, is renowned for its modern healthcare infrastructure and world-class medical facilities. At Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital, we take pride in being a leading player in the healthcare landscape of Abu Dhabi. Our Gastroenterology Department stands as a testament to our commitment to providing residents and visitors with top-tier gastroenterological care.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopies
One of the cornerstones of our Gastroenterology Department is our expertise in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies. These minimally invasive procedures allow us to examine the digestive tract, diagnose conditions, and even treat certain gastrointestinal issues without the need for traditional surgery. Whether it's an upper endoscopy (gastroscopy) or a colonoscopy, our specialists use advanced technology and techniques to ensure accuracy and patient comfort.
Colorectal Cancer Screening
Colorectal cancer is a significant health concern, but early detection can greatly improve outcomes. Our Gastroenterology Department offers comprehensive colorectal cancer screening programs, including colonoscopies. These screenings are essential for individuals over the age of 45 or those with a family history of colorectal cancer. Timely screenings can save lives, and we are here to make the process as accessible and comfortable as possible.
Fibroscan for Liver Fibrosis and Stiffness
Liver health is crucial, and assessing liver fibrosis and stiffness is a key part of maintaining it. Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital is equipped with Fibroscan technology, a non-invasive method to evaluate liver health. Whether you have a liver condition or simply want to monitor your liver's well-being, our specialists can provide you with accurate results and guidance for the best possible care.
Esophageal Manometry and pH Impedance
For patients with esophageal issues such as acid reflux or difficulty swallowing, esophageal manometry and pH impedance testing can provide valuable insights. Our team of experts utilizes these diagnostic tools to assess the function of your esophagus, helping to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and tailor an effective treatment plan.
Hydrogen Breath Test
Gas-related symptoms, such as bloating and excessive gas production, can be uncomfortable and disruptive to daily life. Our Gastroenterology Department offers hydrogen breath testing to identify the underlying causes of these symptoms, such as lactose intolerance or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). By pinpointing the issue, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort.
Specialized Hepatology Care
In addition to our comprehensive gastroenterological services, we specialize in Hepatology, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. Our Hepatology experts are skilled in managing a wide range of liver conditions, including hepatitis, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver transplantation evaluations. We are dedicated to providing personalized care plans to address your specific liver health needs.
