Advanced Care for Immune and Musculoskeletal Health

At Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, we offer specialised, integrated care for a wide range of conditions that affect the immune system, joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Our Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology department combines expert knowledge, advanced diagnostics, and personalised treatment to improve quality of life and prevent long-term complications.

What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of diseases that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues. These include various types of arthritis, autoimmune diseases, metabolic bone disorders, and chronic pain syndromes.

Rheumatic diseases often cause inflammation, pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints, and can also affect internal organs such as the lungs, kidneys, heart, and skin. Without timely treatment, many of these conditions can lead to disability, organ damage, or reduced quality of life.

What is Clinical Immunology?

Clinical Immunology deals with diseases caused by abnormal functioning of the immune system – either due to an overactive immune response (as seen in autoimmune diseases) or a weakened immune system (as seen in immunodeficiencies).

It includes the diagnosis and treatment of:

• Autoimmune disorders (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis)
• Immunodeficiencies (e.g., primary immunodeficiencies, HIV)
• Allergic conditions (e.g., asthma, food/drug allergies, anaphylaxis)
• Autoinflammatory syndromes
• Immune system complications from infections or therapies

Why Choose a Specialist Trained in Both Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology?

A doctor trained in both fields understands how joint problems and immune system issues are connected. This means faster diagnosis, more accurate treatment, and better overall care – especially for complex or overlapping conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or immune deficiencies.
