Gastrointestinal Immunology primarily centre around separation of gut-related lymphoid tissue, guideline of natural and versatile invulnerable cell separation and work, hereditary and epigenetic factors controlling safe reactions and aggravation. It therefore gives thought regarding the clinical exploration, clinical preliminaries and the study of disease transmission concentrates on gastrointestinal incendiary illnesses however not restricted to gluten-touchy enteropathy, fiery entrail infection, and gastritis, malabsorption disorder, the runs, gastric and duodenal ulcers and sickness of the salivary organs barring cystic fibrosis.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder that strikes the large intestine. IBS Signs and symptoms are cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation. It is a chronic condition that lasts long. Small number of people with IBS has serious signs and symptoms. Some of them can manage their symptoms by controlling diet, lifestyle, and stress.

Common causes of cirrhosis are Alcohol and viral hepatitis B and C, although there are many other causes. As cirrhosis grows repeatedly scar tissue is formed , making it difficult for the liver to function properly.

Liver imaging is predominantly for diagnosing biliary tract issue and is essential for detecting liver injuries or damage and patients with a suspected malignancy is important because the liver is the common site of metastatic spread and those who are at the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma.

Symptoms like burning pain that occurs after eating and become more painful after lying down.

Cancers of the liver, bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas, large and small bowel, stomach, esophagus and rare tumors all comes under the Gastrointestinal Cancer symptoms. Study and treatment of these cancer signs comes under Gastrointestinal Oncology. These are also commonly called as Gastrointestinal or Esophageal Malignancy, which is found to be sixth normal disease on the planet and is continue expanding.

Gastrointestinal Pathology is an area or branch of science that deals with the diagnosis and characterization of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the digestive tract and accessory organs, such as the pancreas and liver.

• Peptic Ulcer Disease


• Chronic Diarrhea

Gastrointestinal Radiology is the branch for the imaging of disorders of the digestive tract that is the stomach and intestines, the liver, the biliary tree, and the pancreas by  using a wide variety of modalities, including Digital Radiography (X-RAY), Computed Tomography (CT), Ultrasound.

Pediatric Gastroenterology is suppressed with treating the GIT , liver and pancreas of infants from early stages to adulthood. Testing is completed by using PH Probes, Liver Biopsies, Breath Test, Endoscopic Procedure. The foremost point of the investigation of pediatric gastroenterology is corresponding down baby and kid pace of passings, control the spread of unbearable sickness, and advance solid ways of life for a long illness free life help facilitate the issue of kids and young people.

Gastrointestinal Disorders is the term used to describe any condition or disease that occurs inside the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract (also called the GI tract) is a series of hollow organs that combines and  form a long continuous passage from our mouth to our anus. The organs that form our GI tract are our mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

 Digestive disorder is health problem that develops in the digestive tract. Conditions may vary from mild to serious. Some common problems are heartburn, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and lactose intolerance. Other digestive diseases include: Gallstones, cholecystitis, cholangitis Gastroenteritis, Ulcers, Hemorrhoids etc.

When an Inflammation or burning is caused in pancreas is termed as Pancreatic Diseases or Pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can start suddenly and last for days or can occur after many years. Main Causes includes gallstones and chronic, heavy alcohol use. Symptoms include upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Treatment usually requires hospitalisation. Once the patients are stabilised, doctors treat the underlying cause.

Exact cause of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBT) is still not found but it can be resulting in defective immune system. Main causes of IBT can be Family history or Genetics, Smoking, Environmental factors etc.

• Ulcerative colitis

The gut microbiota provides essential capacities for the fermentation of non-digestible substrates like dietary fibres and endogenous intestinal mucus.Chronic diseases such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma have been associated with the human microbiota.

Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. It's commonly caused by a viral infection, but there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. Liver disease is caused by disturbance in liver function resulting in illness.

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine dealing with the digestive system and its disorders. Diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which include the organs from mouth into anus, along the alimentary canal, are the targets where this disorder is observed. Physicians practicing in this field are called gastroenterologists.

The safety of upper gastrointestinal cancer patients in the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is extremely important and most surgeons need to establish a contingency management.The COVID-19 outbreak makes surgical procedures extremely difficult to be performed. The most common criteria to prioritize patients for surgical treatment are stage, tumor biology, presence of tumor-related symptoms, the risk of tumor to become non-resectable, and time interval from neoadjuvant therapy. The multidisciplinary teams can help assigning a priority level to each clinical case.
