When you cannot breathe, nothing else matters. The panic of air hunger or the exhaustion of a chronic cough drives patients to seek answers. But the lungs are complex organs, hidden behind the rigid cage of the ribs. In the past, diagnosing lung conditions often required open surgery or “wait and see” approaches.
Today, Pulmonology Diagnosis at Liv Hospital is a high-tech, minimally invasive discipline. We have replaced the scalpel with the bronchoscope and the stethoscope with the CT scanner. Our goal is to provide a Definitive Diagnosis—not just “It might be asthma,” but “It is Eosinophilic Asthma triggered by dust mites with 20% airway obstruction.”
Our Interventional Pulmonology Unit allows us to reach deep into the chest to biopsy lymph nodes, drain fluid, and inspect airways without making a single incision on your skin. This “inside-out” approach is safer, faster, and less painful than traditional methods.
Before we look inside the lungs, we measure how well they work. These tests are the foundation of all respiratory diagnosis.
This is the most common test for Asthma and COPD.
Spirometry measures air flow; DLCO measures gas exchange.
Real life doesn’t happen in a chair. We measure your oxygen levels and heart rate while walking for 6 minutes. This tells us if you need supplemental oxygen at home.
X-rays are often not enough. To see a tumor when it is curable (size of a pea), we need 3D clarity.
If a nodule is found, is it cancer or just a scar?
This is the core of our diagnostic power. We use flexible tubes (scopes) to enter the airways.
The “Game Changer” for lung cancer staging.
For tumors deep in the periphery of the lung (where standard scopes can’t reach).
The lungs are wrapped in a double-layer sac called the pleura. Sometimes, fluid builds up here (Pleural Effusion), crushing the lung.
If the fluid keeps coming back and the cause is unknown, we perform a mini-surgery.
Sleep Apnea is a physical blockage of the airway, but it requires physiological proof.
You spend the night in our luxury sleep suite. It is soundproofed and designed like a hotel room, not a hospital ward.
For patients with high suspicion of simple obstructive apnea, we can provide a portable kit to wear in your own hotel bed. It measures fewer channels but is more convenient.
Asthma is often just the symptom; allergy is the cause.
Diagnostic procedures can be scary. We prioritize your experience.

Keep humidity levels between 30-50%, change HVAC filters regularly, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, and avoid using strong chemical fragrances or smoking indoors.
Yes, a healthy diet maintains a healthy weight, reduces pressure on the diaphragm, and provides antioxidants that help protect lung tissue from inflammation and damage.
Yes, most people with asthma can and should exercise; using a rescue inhaler 15 minutes before activity and warming up properly can prevent exercise induced symptoms.
In addition to standard childhood vaccines, adults with lung conditions need the annual flu shot, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20 or PCV15/PPSV23), and the COVID-19 vaccine.
Stress can cause your breathing to become shallow and rapid (hyperventilation), which can make you feel short of breath and worsen conditions like asthma or COPD. Learning deep-breathing exercises helps counteract this.
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) face many challenges. Spironolactone, a medication, is often used to help manage these issues. It works by reducing androgens,
