Ghatkopar (East), Mumbai)
Rheumatology & Arthritis Care in Mumbai
Joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling or unexplained fatigue are not always “just age”. At Shree Hospitals, our rheumatologists in Mumbai diagnose and manage arthritis and autoimmune conditions early, with the aim of controlling inflammation before it causes lasting damage.
24×7 Emergency Medical Care
Department Of Rheumatology
Rheumatology deals with conditions in which the immune system becomes overactive and attacks the body’s own tissues. The joints are often affected first, but the same process can involve the skin, eyes, lungs, kidneys, blood vessels and nerves.
Many patients reach a rheumatologist in Mumbai only after months or years of painkillers, repeated tests and different opinions. This delay matters. In inflammatory arthritis, the early phase is often when treatment can do the most to protect joints from permanent change.
At Shree Hospitals, your rheumatologist starts by working out whether your pain is inflammatory (immune-driven), mechanical (wear-and-tear), or metabolic (such as gout). Each type is treated very differently. Getting this distinction right decides everything that follows.
Because autoimmune diseases can affect several organs, our rheumatology team works directly with nephrology, pulmonology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology and obstetrics. Pregnancy planning, kidney involvement or lung changes are managed jointly rather than through separate, disconnected referrals.
Our rheumatology department in Ghatkopar East sees patients from across central and eastern Mumbai, including Vikhroli, Kurla, Chembur, Powai, Mulund and Thane.

For Emergency/Consultation
Comprehensive Range Of Diagnose Rheumatic Disease
Advanced. Accurate. Expert.
No single test confirms most rheumatic diseases. Your rheumatologist combines your history, a physical examination and selected tests to reach a diagnosis. Testing is targeted, not a long list run “just in case”.
1800-268-4000
Inflammation Markers
ESR, CRP, complete blood count, ferritin.
Ordered for: checking whether inflammation is present, how active a disease is, and how well treatment is working at each follow-up.
Arthritis Antibody Panel
Rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-CCP antibodies, HLA-B27.
Ordered for: suspected rheumatoid arthritis, unexplained joint swelling, or inflammatory back pain that may point to ankylosing spondylitis.
Autoimmune & Connective Tissue Profile
ANA, anti-dsDNA, ENA panel, complement levels (C3, C4), antiphospholipid antibodies.
Ordered for: suspected lupus, Sjögren’s, scleroderma or myositis, and repeated pregnancy loss with possible autoimmune cause.
Vasculitis & Muscle Tests
ANCA, CPK, myositis antibody panel, urine protein tests.
Ordered for: unexplained fever with rash or kidney changes, muscle weakness, or suspected inflammation of blood vessels.
Joint Fluid Analysis & Uric Acid
Joint aspiration with crystal analysis and culture, serum uric acid, kidney function tests.
Ordered for: a sudden hot, swollen joint, to tell gout, pseudogout and infection apart, which need very different treatment.
Imaging & Bone Health
X-ray, musculoskeletal ultrasound, MRI of joints and spine, DEXA scan, high-resolution chest CT.
Ordered for: detecting joint damage or early inflammation, assessing the sacroiliac joints, measuring bone density, and checking the lungs in autoimmune disease.
