Dr. Shivam Kaliya, a board-certified Medical Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, provides expert management of a comprehensive array of digestive and liver disorders. At Global Gastro Care in Ghaziabad, he treats conditions such as acid-peptic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, viral and metabolic liver conditions, among others. Renowned for his meticulous diagnostic approach and compassionate care, Dr. Kaliya ensures personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Dr. Shivam Kaliya offers a wide range of advanced endoscopic and non-invasive procedures. His expertise includes high-definition upper GI endoscopy with narrow band imaging, colonoscopy, ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound, and third-space endoscopy. He also performs functional assessments like esophageal and anorectal manometry and biofeedback therapy. Non-invasive tools such as FibroScan®, capsule endoscopy, breath tests, and liver biopsy enhance his capability for accurate disease staging and treatment guidance.

Upper GI Endoscopy is a procedure used to examine the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, and beginning of the small intestine. It is recommended for diagnosing symptoms such as persistent heartburn, bleeding, nausea, vomiting, or unexplained pain. The procedure also allows for biopsies and treatment of conditions like esophageal strictures and polyps.

Colonoscopy is a procedure that allows for the examination of the interior lining of the colon and rectum. It helps detect inflamed tissues, abnormal growths, ulcers, and early signs of cancer. It is crucial for colorectal cancer screening and can also be used to evaluate symptoms like unexplained changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, or rectal bleeding.

Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) enhances visualization during an endoscopy by using specific wavelengths of light to highlight mucosal structures and vascular patterns. It aids gastrologists in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions, thus improving the accuracy of diagnoses and targeted biopsies, particularly in detecting early indications of esophageal or colorectal cancer.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is primarily used to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. It can address gallstones, strictures, leaks, or cancers in these ducts. Additionally, ERCP is effective in relieving obstructions or introducing stents, which alleviate symptoms like jaundice or pancreatitis.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) combines endoscopy and ultrasound to provide detailed images of the digestive tract and surrounding tissues. It is significant for staging cancers, evaluating submucosal lesions, and diagnosing conditions such as pancreatitis or liver disease. EUS also guides fine-needle aspiration for accurate tissue diagnoses, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsy.

Third Space Endoscopy refers to advanced endoscopic procedures that operate within the submucosal space of the gastrointestinal tract. Techniques like Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for achalasia and Submucosal Tunneling and Endoscopic Resection (STER) for tumors are included. These minimally invasive options effectively treat complex conditions by allowing precise interventions without the need for open surgery.

This procedure measures the pressures and pattern of muscle contractions in the esophagus and rectum. It diagnoses conditions like GERD, achalasia, or chronic constipation. Biofeedback therapy further assists by training patients to improve muscle function and coordination, particularly in the rectum and anus, thereby alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life for disorders affecting these areas.

Double Balloon Enteroscopy (DBE) is a specialized endoscopic technique that allows for a detailed examination and treatment of the entire small bowel. It is particularly useful for diagnosing and managing obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, detecting tumors, or inserting stents in the small intestine. DBE's main advantage lies in its ability to reach parts of the small intestine that other endoscopies cannot.

FibroScan is a non-invasive test that evaluates liver stiffness and fat content, aiding in the assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis. It's a quick procedure, offering an alternative to liver biopsy for diagnosing and monitoring liver diseases like hepatitis, cirrhosis, or fatty liver. The test helps in tracking disease progression and the effectiveness of ongoing treatment strategies.

Capsule Endoscopy involves swallowing a small, pill-sized camera that captures images as it moves through the digestive tract. It's used for examining the small intestine, which is hard to reach with traditional endoscopies. Indications include investigating unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, and small bowel tumors. The procedure provides valuable pictures to help in precise diagnosis and management of these conditions.

Breath tests are non-invasive diagnostic tools used to detect conditions like lactose intolerance, bacterial overgrowth, and H. pylori infection. Patients ingest a specific substrate that causes detectable changes in the breath if certain bacteria or metabolic conditions are present. These tests are critical in diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders linked to bacterial growth, contributing to effective and targeted treatment plans.

A Colonic Transit Study evaluates how well food moves through the colon and can diagnose conditions like chronic constipation or colonic motility disorders. It involves ingesting markers or using scintigraphy to track movement through the digestive system. This study identifies slow transit constipation or differentiate between mechanical and functional gastrointestinal disorders, assisting specialists in formulating adequate treatment approaches.

A Liver Biopsy involves extracting a tissue sample from the liver to diagnose or monitor liver conditions inaccurately. It is necessary when imaging tests and blood work are inconclusive, often aiding in diagnosing hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, or other unexplained liver dysfunctions. The biopsy helps form an accurate treatment plan, assessing the extent of liver damage and the inflammation present.
