Specialist gastroenterology, liver and pancreas care in KPHB Colony, Kukatpally. Sunday OPD, evening hours and on-site FibroScan.
Pancreatitis treatment in KPHB is available seven days a week at Gokul Gastro & Liver Care, Kukatpally, with a Sunday OPD and evening hours for working families. Sudden upper abdominal pain brings most patients to us in real distress, so we assess, scan and begin relief on the very first visit itself — Dr. Viswanath Kamisetty handles every consultation personally.
Because pancreatic inflammation can worsen within hours, timely review matters a great deal. Repeated attacks slowly scar the organ and reduce its working capacity, so our team focuses on breaking that cycle early while treating the root cause too, whether gallstones, alcohol or high triglycerides.
Monday – Saturday

The pancreas sits quietly behind your stomach and handles two big jobs daily. It releases enzymes that break down fat, protein and starch, and it produces insulin, which keeps blood sugar steady. Pancreatitis simply means inflammation of this organ — when digestive enzymes switch on too early, they start irritating the pancreas itself, and swelling, severe pain and poor digestion follow quickly.
During an attack, the gland swells and blood flow drops, and fluid may collect around the organ. Digestion slows down sharply, so meals feel heavy and painful, and occasionally insulin output falls and sugar levels climb — which is why we check both digestion and sugar at every follow-up.
Some attacks settle in a few days; others leave lasting damage that needs long-term support. We separate the two before planning care.
A sudden, severe episode of inflammation. Gallstones and alcohol cause most such attacks in Hyderabad, and occasionally high triglycerides, certain medicines or a recent ERCP trigger one. Many episodes settle within a week, though some turn severe rapidly.
Suits patients whose pancreas has scarred over months or years. The gland shrinks, ducts narrow and enzyme output drops steadily. Alcohol remains a leading cause, yet genetic and idiopathic types are common in South India too.
Pain is usually the first clue, though it presents differently in each person — typically it starts below the ribs and bores straight through to the back.
Bending forward often eases it slightly; oily meals tend to make it worse.
Shows up after eating, especially after oily or heavy meals.
The upper belly feels tender and swollen, not just uncomfortable.
Signals the body is actively fighting inflammation, not settling on its own.
A sign that fat isn't being digested properly, worth mentioning even if it feels awkward.
Eating less first, then weight dropping as a knock-on effect.
Long-standing damage speaks differently: oily stools that stick to the pan (steatorrhoea), gradual weight loss despite normal meals, newly diagnosed diabetes without family history, a persistent dull ache returning every few weeks, and vitamin deficiencies causing tiredness and weak bones. Any of these signs deserve a proper check — don't wait for the pain to settle on its own.
Identifying the trigger changes everything — otherwise, treatment only settles the current episode and the next one arrives soon.
Blocking the common bile duct is the single most common trigger seen at our clinic.
Consumed heavily over several years, alcohol remains a leading cause of chronic disease especially.
Often above 1000 mg/dL when they trigger an attack, and worth checking after a first episode.
Certain diuretics and immunosuppressants can trigger an attack, and genetic factors turn up more often in younger patients.
Autoimmune pancreatitis responds well to steroids, while duct abnormalities present since birth and high calcium from parathyroid disorders round out the less common triggers.
Accurate diagnosis combines blood work, imaging and a careful history, so we avoid guesswork and start the right treatment quickly.
Serum lipase and amylase confirm active inflammation, while liver function tests flag a blocked bile duct.
Detects gallstones and fluid collections — usually the first imaging step in every workup.
CT grades severity and spots complications; MRCP maps the pancreatic and bile ducts clearly when duct anatomy needs a closer look.
Examines subtle duct and gland changes that other scans can miss, reserved for cases that need that extra detail.
Faecal elastase measures how much enzyme the gland still makes, while HbA1c and fasting sugar screen for pancreatic diabetes.
Each plan is discussed openly before starting, and we explain costs and timelines upfront, so families can plan sensibly.
Chosen for a mild acute attack with stable vitals and no organ stress. Fluids, pain control and careful feeding help the gland settle, and nutrition restarts early rather than after long fasting.
Chosen when fatty stools, weight loss or low faecal elastase appear. Capsules taken with every meal make a visible difference within weeks, and stools normalise as bloating settles.
Chosen for every patient, especially after the first episode. Small, frequent, low-fat meals work better than three heavy ones, and the change alone prevents many repeat attacks.
Triglyceride-lowering therapy is chosen for lipid-triggered attacks with very high readings; steroid therapy is chosen for confirmed autoimmune pancreatitis, which responds well to it.
ERCP with stenting clears a blocked duct, stone or leak; endoscopic drainage relieves a symptomatic pseudocyst pressing on the stomach; surgical referral follows for gallstone disease or duct disease that endoscopy alone can't settle.
Chosen when rising HbA1c reflects reduced insulin output. Regular tracking catches this early, before sugars climb far enough to cause their own problems.
Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist — Gokul Gastro & Liver Care, KPHB · Medicover Hospitals, Financial District.
Dr. Viswanath Kamisetty holds MBBS, MD and DM in Medical Gastroenterology, and treats pancreatic, liver and digestive disorders across all age groups. Every patient at our clinic sees him directly, not a rotating panel — because continuity matters in pancreatic disease, this single-doctor model helps enormously. Pancreatic disease needs someone who reads scans, interprets enzyme levels and judges severity daily; a DM-qualified gastroenterologist brings exactly that depth, which is why decisions about when to scan, when to refer and when to wait become far more accurate. Reliable pancreatitis treatment in Hyderabad shouldn't mean a long drive, so we chose KPHB 13th Phase for easy metro and road access from across the western corridor of the city.
Pancreatitis responds best when treated early and reviewed regularly. Dr. Viswanath Kamisetty will review your reports, explain the cause plainly and build a plan that fits your routine — call, write, or walk in during our evening or Sunday hours.
