Services that we provide with quality
Offering innovative solutions, specializing in medical services for treatment of medical infrastructure.
CARDIOLOGY
We specialize in the treatment of the cardiovascular system—which includes the heart and blood vessels. Cardiologists also educate habits that promote heart health. We are qualified to treat heart attacks, heart failure, heart valve disease, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure.
To make a diagnosis, We may give physical exams, order tests — such an electrocardiogram (EKG), blood tests, exercise stress tests — as well as interpret tests.
We may also prescribe medicine, recommend lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, reducing stress levels and managing weight. We can perform procedures such as implanting a pacemaker or inserting a cardiac catheter.
Renal Biospy

Renal (Kidney) biopsy is a diagnostic procedure in which a small piece of renal tissue (tissue from the kidneys) is obtained to know the cause of renal failure, to know the cause of Proteinuria and to know the severity in some renal diseases like Lupus Nephritis.

An ultrasound-guided renal biopsy can be that of the native kidneys or that of the kidney transplant is routinely performed under local anesthesia in adults but children need general anesthesia. Bedside renal biopsies are performed for sick patients in the ICU and in the ward.

The patient needs to get admitted on the morning of the procedure and need to be under complete bed rest for a day after the procedure. He can resume his normal activities a couple of days after the procedure.

Some investigations like coagulation parameters need to be checked prior to renal biopsy. Complications like blood in the urine can occur in about 5% of patients. Rarely the bleeding can be severe to warrant another procedure to stop the bleeding.
Hemodialysis
Haemodialysis is performed at SPT Hospitals with sophisticated equipment (volumetric, bicarbonate machines). We have 14 state-of-the-art machines [13 of them in the haemodialysis unit and 1 in the intensive care unit (ICU)].
A state-of-the-art reverse osmosis plant purifies the water used for haemodialysis. Periodic cultures of the reverse osmosis water are performed to ensure good quality of water.
The facilities at the Dialysis unit include:
  • State-of-the-art Fresenius haemodialysis machines with individual stations
  • Special dialysis couches at each individual station
  • Daily monitoring of safety practices
  • Daily monitoring and audit of patients and machines.
  • There are dedicated machines and space for HBsAg and HCV positive patients
Renal Transplant
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a patient having irreversible advanced kidney disease (end-stage renal disease). Kidney transplant is considered to be the best treatment option as it can increase one’s life expectancy.
Kidney transplantation is classified into deceased donor transplantation or living donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ.
Kidney (renal) transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a person (donor) is removed and placed in a patient (recipient) with irreversible advanced kidney disease (end-stage renal disease; ESRD).
Extracarporial Theraphy
Plasmapheresis is the procedure which is done to exchange the plasma present in the blood with fresh plasma substitute or plasma from a donor. Plasmapheresis or plasma exchange process broadly involves the following steps:
The treat works firstly by stimulating nerves in the injured area. As a result, these nerves become overstimulated and less sensitive to pain. This will ensure that the patient is able to lead their life normally without having to wince at the slightest touch. The shockwaves also stimulate the development of blood capillaries. These capillaries supply nutrients to the injured tissues. As a result, this leads to faster healing times.
In most cases, this type of treatment has been found to be more effective than corticosteroids in reducing inflammation. For one, conventional medication seems to become less effective with time.
Plasmapheresis
Plasmapheresis is the procedure which is done to exchange the plasma present in the blood with fresh plasma substitute or plasma from a donor. Plasmapheresis or plasma exchange process broadly involves the following steps:
  • Whole blood is taken out from the person’s body.
  • The liquid part or plasma is separated from the blood that contains white blood cells and replaced with fresh plasma substitute or plasma from the donor.
  • The replaced plasma along with the patient’s blood is transfused back into the body.
Blood is withdrawn from the patient’s body to the apheresis machine through one of the catheter tubes. After the blood enters the machine, the blood cells will be segregated from the plasma.
Renal Stone
SPT Hospitals provides some of the best bladder and renal stone treatment in India. we provide advanced kidney and urinary stone surgery in Coimbatore.
Initial treatment will focus upon the relief of pain. After this, the next step will be to facilitate the passage of the stone or the removal of the stone itself.
80-90% of all stones smaller than 5 mm will pass out on their own. If the stone is smooth, even stones of 7-8 mm may pass out on their own.

Stones larger than this will invariably need to be removed by one of the many methods available. If there is an anatomical abnormality, the priority will be to correct that abnormality while removing the stone.

1-2 cm solitary stones in the kidney is preferably treated by ESWL. This is a method by which the stone is powdered when pressure waves from a machine are focused on the stone. The stone fragments will then pass out in the urine stream over a period of 1 to 12 weeks.
Larger stones in the kidney are preferably removed by PCNL. In this method, the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital. A small puncture is made from the back directly into the kidney, the stone is identified, fragmented and completely removed.
Snake Bites
A physical puncturing wound caused by the fangs of a venomous/non-venomous snake leading to a bunch of symptoms like pain and vomiting, paralysis and sometimes death, qualifies as a snake bite.You will know immediately when a snake has bitten you. Typical symptoms that accompany a snake bite are:
  • Two fang marks or wounds that look punctured
  • Bleeding from the wound
  • Tremendous pain around the bite
  • Change in skin color
  • Paralysis Rapid pulse Tiredness and muscle weakness
  • Change in skin color
The major risk factors associated with snake bites are the following :
Lack of immediate and scientific first aid in the form of anti-venom Too much movement of the victim can cause the venom to spread faster in the body Tight and fitted clothing and jewellery around the bite Outdated first aid techniques like cutting the wound open and exposing to infection and complication, using tourniquets or cold compress, manually sucking the venom out or using pump suction device, pain killers without the doctor Children run the risk of death and serious complications because of their smaller body size.
