Livasa Hospital, Amritsar strengthens its position in advanced medical diagnostics

Amritsar 31 March ( PDL ) : Modern medicine is increasingly encountering cases where symptoms do not clearly point to a specific disease. Patients presenting with vague concerns such as unexplained weight loss, poor appetite, or gastrointestinal discomfort may not immediately be suspected of having lung conditions. However, recent clinical experience at Livasa Hospital Amritsar highlights how deeper investigation and advanced techniques can uncover hidden diagnoses and save lives.

In a recent complex case, the initial evaluations pointed toward gastrointestinal and pancreatic concerns, however, further imaging revealed lung infection along with enlarged chest lymph nodes. This case underscored the importance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach—bringing together pulmonologists, radiologists, and valuable cross-specialty inputs from Dr. Ishan Mittal associate consultant–gastroenterology.

His timely clinical insights helped guide the diagnostic pathway when initial findings were inconclusive, enabling the team to arrive at an accurate diagnosis while avoiding unnecessary interventions. Dr. Baljot Singh consultant–interventional pulmonology led the diagnostic process using advanced procedures like endobronchial ultrasound and cryo-nodal biopsy.

Rajiv Kundra, facility director-Livasa Hospital Amritsar said,"This case is a strong example of how the right expertise, technology, and teamwork can change patient outcomes. Our goal is to ensure that patients in and around Amritsar no longer need to travel to metro cities for advanced diagnostics.”
