Patient Testimonial - Chronic Liver Disease Treatment

About Vijay Pandurang Ghuge's Treatment

Vijay Pandurang Ghuge was battling Chronic Liver Disease, a progressive condition affecting the liver's function. When his symptoms suddenly worsened and his blood levels dropped to a dangerously low range, he was urgently referred to Medicover Hospitals, Nashik. Under the specialized care of Dr Tushar Sanklecha (Consultant - Medical Gastroenterology), he began his fight back to recovery.

His condition required immediate admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he remained on ventilatory support for nearly a month. Despite the severity of his illness, the expert medical care, continuous monitoring, and emotional support provided by Dr Sanklecha and the Medicover team helped him overcome this challenging phase. Today, Vijay has regained his health and returned to his normal life and work.

In the Patient Words

"When I was extremely unwell, I was referred to Dr Tushar Sanklecha at Ashoka Medicover Hospitals because my blood count was dangerously low. I was admitted to the ICU and placed on a ventilator for a month. Throughout this time, Dr Sanklecha supported me emotionally and medically, clearly explaining every procedure. He gave me hope that I would recover.

After being discharged, I resumed my work within three months. I am now completely fit and healthy. I truly believe that Dr Sanklecha is like God to me. The entire hospital staff cared for me when I needed it the most. I am now living happily with my family."

What is Chronic Liver Disease?

Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) refers to long-term damage to the liver that gradually leads to scarring (cirrhosis) and reduced liver function. Over time, the liver becomes unable to perform vital functions like detoxifying the blood and producing essential proteins.
