The Medical Center

Rheumatic diseases are lifelong companions. Managing them requires a partnership between the patient and the physician, built on trust, accessibility, and expertise. At Liv Hospital, the Department of Rheumatology provides a comprehensive ecosystem of care, integrating cutting-edge immunology with rehabilitation and support services to ensure our patients live active, pain-free lives.

Why Choose Liv Hospital for Rheumatology?

Early Arthritis Clinic: We understand that time is cartilage. Our specialized clinic is designed to fast-track patients with new-onset joint pain to ensure diagnosis and treatment initiation happen within the “window of opportunity,” preventing permanent deformity.
Biologic Infusion Center: For patients requiring intravenous biologic therapies, we offer a dedicated, comfortable infusion unit. Staffed by specialized nurses who monitor for infusion reactions, the center allows patients to receive their treatments in a safe, relaxed environment.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Expertise: Our rheumatologists are trained in advanced ultrasonography. This allows for “point-of-care” diagnosis, we can visualize the inflammation in your joints during your consultation, guiding precise injections and monitoring how well your medication is working without waiting for MRI results.

A Multidisciplinary Alliance

Autoimmune diseases affect the whole body, so our team covers the entire body.

Rheuma-Ortho Collaboration: We work side-by-side with orthopedic surgeons. Whether trying to delay surgery through medical management or to optimize a patient’s immune system before a joint replacement, communication is seamless.
Dermatology-Rheumatology Interface: For conditions like Psoriatic Arthritis and Lupus, skin and joint care must be coordinated. Our specialists consult together to effectively treat both the rash and the arthritis.
Pulmonary and Nephrology Support: For systemic diseases like Scleroderma or Vasculitis that affect the lungs or kidneys, we have established pathways for rapid co-management with lung and kidney specialists.

Patient-Centered Education and Support

An empowered patient is a healthier patient.

Chronic Disease Management: Living with a chronic condition like Lupus or RA is challenging. Our team provides education on medication self-injection, energy conservation techniques (managing fatigue), and lifestyle modifications.
Pregnancy Planning: Many rheumatic diseases affect young women. Our “Reproductive Rheumatology” approach helps women plan safe pregnancies, adjusting medications to ensure both mother and baby are healthy during conception and gestation.

At Liv Hospital, we do not just suppress inflammation; we aim to restore your quality of life, helping you move freely and live fully.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the "Early Arthritis Clinic"?

It is a specialized service dedicated to fast-tracking new patients. Because “time is cartilage,” the goal is to diagnose and treat joint pain within the “window of opportunity” to stop permanent deformity before it starts.

How is musculoskeletal ultrasound used during an appointment?

Our doctors use point-of-care ultrasound to visualize inflammation in real-time during your consultation. This allows for immediate diagnosis and ensures that joint injections are placed with pinpoint precision.

What happens at the Biologic Infusion Center?

It is a dedicated, comfortable unit for patients who need intravenous (IV) therapies. Specialized nurses monitor you throughout the process to ensure safety and manage any potential infusion reactions in a relaxed environment.

How does Liv Hospital handle diseases that affect multiple organs?

We use a multidisciplinary alliance. For example, our rheumatologists work directly with dermatologists for Psoriatic Arthritis, or with kidney and lung specialists for systemic conditions like Lupus or Scleroderma.

Can I have a healthy pregnancy if I have a rheumatic disease?

Yes. Through our “Reproductive Rheumatology” approach, we help women plan safe pregnancies by adjusting medications to protect both the mother and the baby during conception and gestation.
