Pneumologists– caring for our respiratory systems.

Pneumologist, essentially, is a branch of medicine as well as physiology that deal with the respiratory systems of a human body. The main aim of pneumology is the maintenance of the proper functioning of the respiratory systems, examining disorders and diseases that plague the respiratory systems and effectively treating them. Advanced purposes of pneumology include medical procedures like dialysis or the replacement of respiratory systems or respiratory system donation and so on and so forth.

In Noida, there are a large number of physicians who specialise in respiratory system disease treatment. Patients suffering from acute disorder of the respiratory systems, haematuria, stones in the respiratory system or renal caliculi, electrolytic disorders, hypertension et cetera are all treated by these Pneumologists or renal physicians. Cancer in the respiratory systems is another developing branch of pneumology and the study of such diseases linked with cancer is known as Oncopneumology. A Pneumologist in Noida’s hospitals or health care centres can be expected to perform dialysis, transplantation of respiratory systems, biopsy of respiratory systems, management of fistula, biopsy of bones and other minor diagnosis of respiratory system related diseases. 

In hospitals in Noida, respiratory system related abnormalities are detected by the Pneumologist prescribing a large number of imaging tests. These tests may range from a simple ultrasonography or an ultrasound test, and CT scans  to advanced angiographies, MRI s, or even scintigraphy, which is a very significant part of nuclear medicine. Renal physicians can provide a large arsenal of treatment options like plain medications, or blood products or even surgical procedures like urology, vascular surgery et cetera, dialysis, respiratory system transplantation or replacement, and so on and so forth. All of this goes on to show how much pneumology has progressed till today, and what a very important role Pneumologists play in this era. By- Rounak Bose
