The department handles everything from a first-time diagnosis to long-term follow-up for people living with chronic respiratory disease. Reach out to our experienced specialists for detailed evaluation and pulmonology treatment in Andheri East, Mumbai.

Conditions We Treat

  • COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
    a progressive condition that narrows the airways and damages lung tissue over time, generally tied to long-term exposure to smoke, pollutants, or occupational irritants
  • Pneumonia
    an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, ranging from mild cases managed at home to severe presentations requiring hospitalisation
  • Tuberculosis
    a bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs, requiring extended, carefully monitored treatment and close follow-up to confirm resolution
  • Cystic Fibrosis
    a genetic condition in which thick, sticky mucus builds up in the lungs and digestive system, needing lifelong, multidisciplinary management
  • Chronic Bronchitis
    persistent inflammation of the airway lining that leads to a long-standing cough and excess mucus, often overlapping with COPD

Pulmonary Tests

Diagnosis in Pulmonology relies heavily on functional and imaging-based testing, since two patients with similar symptoms may have very different underlying causes. The pulmonary tests in Andheri East available here include:

  • Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
    measures lung capacity and airflow to assess lung performance, and is central to diagnosing and monitoring conditions like asthma and COPD
  • Polysomnography (Sleep Study)
    overnight monitoring of breathing, oxygen levels and heart rate, used to diagnose sleep apnoea and other sleep-related breathing disorders
  • Allergy Testing
    skin or blood testing to identify specific allergens behind asthma or other allergy-linked respiratory symptoms
  • Bronchoscopy
    a thin, flexible scope passed into the airways for direct visual inspection, tissue sampling or clearing of obstructions
  • Thoracoscopy
    a minimally invasive procedure to examine the pleural space, typically for unexplained fluid build-up or suspected pleural disease

Our Approach to Pulmonology Care

Diagnosis at CritiCare Asia Hospitals draws on clinical assessment as much as testing, since imaging and lab results tell only part of the story. Where medical management is sufficient, it is tried first, and more invasive testing or procedures are considered when symptoms persist, recur, or do not respond as expected. Our pulmonologists offer:

  • Clinical evaluation
    supported by spirometry, imaging or endoscopic testing where the case calls for it
  • Medical management
    as the first line of treatment across most respiratory conditions
  • Measured escalation
    procedures such as bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy only when non-invasive assessment has not provided a clear answer
  • Sleep study–based evaluation
    for suspected sleep apnoea and other sleep-related breathing concerns
  • Long-term monitoring
    for chronic conditions, by pulmonary specialists
  • Coordinated care
    with other departments where a respiratory condition overlaps with broader health concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

A persistent cough lasting more than a few weeks, ongoing breathlessness, recurring chest infections or night-time breathing disturbances are all reasons to see a pulmonologist in Andheri East.

No. Asthma, allergy, acid reflux, smoking and some medicines can all cause a cough lasting a week. A cough beyond three weeks needs assessment, which may include a chest X-ray and breathing tests.

Yes. Fine particles irritate the airways, can trigger asthma and add to long-term lung disease. On poor air quality days, limit outdoor exertion and use a well-fitted mask if advised.

Breathlessness that comes on suddenly, wakes you at night, limits routine tasks, or comes with chest pain, fever, or blue lips needs prompt assessment. Gradual, unexplained breathlessness should also be checked.

Treatment follows a structured antibiotic course over several months, with periodic follow-up to track response and confirm that the infection has cleared.
