Overview of Specialty

The Rheumatology & Immunology Department at Yashoda Medicity and Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, Kaushambi, part of our network of hospitals across multiple locations, is dedicated to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of a wide spectrum of autoimmune and musculoskeletal disorders affecting the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. Our multidisciplinary team combines advanced diagnostics, targeted therapies, and compassionate care to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall mobility. We focus on early detection and individualized treatment plans to help patients maintain a high quality of life, even with chronic conditions.

Services Available

• Comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of autoimmune and umatic disorders at our leading hospital in Ghaziabad.
• Medical management using disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics
• Physical and occupational therapy for functional improvement
• Ultrasound-guided joint injections and aspirations
• Patient education and self-management programs
• Multidisciplinary consultations with orthopedics, dermatology, nephrology, and cardiology for systemic conditions
• Advanced imaging and laboratory diagnostics for precise assessment

Conditions Treated

We provide expert care for a range of rheumatic and autoimmune disorders, including but not limited to:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis – A chronic autoimmune condition that causes persistent inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and eventual joint damage.
• Osteoarthritis – A degenerative joint disease where the protective cartilage wears down over time, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – A complex autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and brain.
• Psoriatic Arthritis – An inflammatory type of arthritis that develops in some individuals with psoriasis, causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis – A form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine and large joints, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and possible fusion of vertebrae over time.
• Gout – A painful form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, often affecting the big toe first.
• Sjögren's Syndrome – An autoimmune disorder characterized by dryness of the eyes and mouth, often accompanied by joint pain and fatigue.
• Vasculitis – A group of rare disorders involving inflammation of the blood vessels, which can restrict blood flow and damage organs and tissues.
• Reactive Arthritis – A type of arthritis triggered by an infection in another part of the body, leading to joint pain, swelling, and sometimes inflammation in the eyes or urinary tract.
• Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis – The most common type of arthritis in children, causing persistent joint swelling, pain, and stiffness.
• Scleroderma – A rare autoimmune condition that causes hardening, thickening, and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, and may also affect internal organs.
• Polymyalgia Rheumatica – An inflammatory disorder that causes muscle pain and stiffness, especially in the shoulders, neck, and hips, often affecting older adults.

Technologies

To ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, we utilize:

• High-resolution imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT scans, musculoskeletal ultrasound)
• Laboratory diagnostics including advanced autoimmune panels
• Urine and blood testing for inflammation markers and antibody detection
• Ultrasound-guided joint procedures for precision interventions
• Bone density scanning (DEXA) to assess osteoporosis risk
