NASH (Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis) is a progressive liver disease characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, inflammation, and liver cell damage. It is closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. If left untreated, NASH can lead to serious complications, including liver cirrhosis and liver failure. Our Clinical Trials provide an opportunity to get medication to potentially help your NASH diagnosis.
Hyperlipidemia refers to a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, particularly cholesterol and triglycerides. It is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Hyperlipidemia can be caused by various factors, including genetics, diet, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and certain medical conditions. Medication to regulate lipid levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
A condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents due to nerve damage from prolonged high blood sugar levels. Common in people with diabetes, it can lead to nausea, vomiting, and blood sugar fluctuations. Regular blood sugar management and dietary adjustments are essential for treatment.
Atrial fibrillation, is a common heart rhythm disorder characterized by irregular and often rapid electrical activity in the heart's upper chambers (atria). Instead of a normal coordinated rhythm, the atria fibrillate or quiver, leading to inefficient blood flow and potential complications. A-Fib increases the risk of blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular issues.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to a spectrum of conditions caused by a sudden decrease in blood flow to the heart muscle. It includes unstable angina and heart attacks (myocardial infarctions). ACS typically occurs due to the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries, leading to the formation of blood clots that partially or completely block blood flow to the heart. Symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, and nausea.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a condition where the force of blood against artery walls is too high, often causing no symptoms. It increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Causes include genetics, poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. Treatment involves lifestyle changes and medications to lower blood pressure.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly referred to as lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and systems in the body. In SLE, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and a wide range of symptoms. Common manifestations of SLE include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, fever, kidney involvement, and sensitivity to sunlight.
A diabetic foot ulcer is a chronic, non-healing wound that develops on the foot of a person with diabetes. It is primarily caused by reduced blood flow, nerve damage (neuropathy), and impaired immune response associated with diabetes. High blood sugar levels can lead to poor circulation and nerve damage, making the feet vulnerable to injuries that may go unnoticed.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, and stiffness. RA commonly affects the small joints of the hands, wrists, and feet, but it can also involve other joints and organs in the body. The condition is characterized by periods of flare-ups and remission. Over time, RA can cause joint deformities, joint erosion, and disability if not properly managed.
Heart failure is a condition where the heart can't pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup. It can be caused by conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or previous heart attacks. Treatment includes lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes devices or surgery to improve heart function.
Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the spine and pelvis, causing pain and stiffness. It includes two forms: radiographic (visible joint damage) and non-radiographic. Treatment focuses on reducing pain and inflammation with medications and physical therapy.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that causes breathing difficulties due to obstructed airflow. It includes diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. Smoking is the primary cause, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms through medications, inhalers, and lifestyle changes.
