Department of Gastroenterology
Stomach pain gets ignored more than almost any other symptom. People sit with it for months, assume it’s gas or stress, and only come in once it’s affecting daily life. Dr. Abhishek runs Gastroenterology at Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital in Kurukshetra, and the department goes well beyond routine endoscopy. It includes a FibroScan 630 Expert machine for liver diagnostics, technology found at very few centers anywhere in Haryana, along with a dedicated Liver ICU and advanced ERCP for bile duct and pancreatic conditions.

Scope of Services
Advanced ERCP Procedures
Endoscopic treatment for bile duct stones, blockages, and pancreatic duct issues.
Painless Endoscopy & Colonoscopy
Sedation-based procedures for both upper GI and colon examinations.
Advanced GI Bleed Care
Diagnosis and urgent treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding.
Liver ICU
Intensive care specifically for patients with severe liver disease or liver failure.
Advanced FibroScan with LSM & SSM
Non-invasive liver and spleen stiffness testing to check for fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease.
Liver Checks Without a Biopsy
Checking liver health used to mean a biopsy, a needle, and a fair amount of discomfort for the patient. The FibroScan 630 Expert changes that. It measures liver stiffness and spleen stiffness directly through the skin, no needle involved, and gives Dr. Abhishek a clear picture of liver damage or fatty liver disease in minutes.
FibroScan 630 Expert (LSM & SSM)
Liver Stiffness Measurement and Spleen Stiffness Measurement, done painlessly, to detect fibrosis and fatty liver disease without a biopsy.
Advanced ERCP Procedures
A specialized endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreas, often avoiding the need for open surgery.
Painless Endoscopy
Sedation-assisted endoscopy so the procedure isn't something patients dread before it even starts.
Painless Colonoscopy
Same approach, applied to colonoscopy, for patients who've been putting off a screening they actually need.
Advanced GI Bleed Care
Gastrointestinal bleeding can turn serious fast. The department is set up to diagnose the source and treat it without delay.
Liver ICU
Patients with severe liver disease sometimes need intensive care built specifically around liver function, not a general ICU bed.
OVERVIEW
The Liver Doesn't Complain Until It's Serious
Liver disease is quiet for a long time. Someone can have fatty liver for years and feel completely fine, until a scan or blood test says otherwise. That’s exactly what FibroScan is built for, catching liver damage before symptoms force the issue, without putting the patient through a biopsy to find out.
Not everything here is about early detection, though. A GI bleed doesn’t give much warning, and a blocked bile duct needs treating fast, not scheduled for next week. Between the FibroScan, the Liver ICU, and ERCP capability, this department covers a patient from the first stomach complaint to the more urgent cases.
FibroScan 630 Expert
Liver and spleen stiffness testing without a biopsy, technology limited to very few hospitals in the state.
Liver ICU On-Site
Intensive care built specifically for liver disease, not a general ICU setup.
Painless Endoscopy & Colonoscopy
Sedation-based procedures, so patients don't avoid a screening out of fear of discomfort.
Advanced ERCP Available Locally
Bile duct and pancreatic conditions treated endoscopically, without travel to a bigger city.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a FibroScan, and why would I need one?
It’s a scan that checks liver stiffness and spleen stiffness without a needle or biopsy. Doctors usually order it for patients with fatty liver, hepatitis, long-term alcohol use, or unexplained abnormal liver test results, to see how much damage, if any, the liver has taken.
Is endoscopy actually painless, or does it just sound that way?
Sedation is used during the procedure, so most patients don’t feel or remember much of it. There’s some grogginess afterward, but the procedure itself isn’t the ordeal people often expect it to be.
What is ERCP, and when is it needed?
ERCP is an endoscopic procedure used to look at and treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreas, gallstones stuck in the duct, blockages, or narrowing. It’s often an alternative to open surgery for these specific problems.
How urgent is a GI bleed, really?
Very. Vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, or sudden severe abdominal pain with bleeding should be treated as an emergency, not something to wait out overnight.
I have fatty liver but no symptoms. Should I still get checked?
Yes. Fatty liver is exactly the kind of condition that stays silent until it’s progressed. A FibroScan can catch how much liver damage exists before symptoms ever show up, which is the point of testing it early rather than waiting.
