Expert Clinical & Interventional Services
Dr. Shafqat Rasool offers a complete range of gastroenterology and liver care services, from routine consultations to advanced endoscopic procedures. Every treatment plan is built around the patient.
Gastroenterology Consultation
What it covers
If you are dealing with stomach pain, bloating, acidity, constipation, irregular bowel habits, or any ongoing digestive discomfort, Dr. Shafqat Rasool will sit with you, go through your symptoms in detail, and figure out exactly what is causing the problem.
Why it matters
Many digestive issues are easy to manage once they are diagnosed correctly. Catching the real cause early can save patients from months of unnecessary discomfort and prevent small problems from turning into bigger ones.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy
What it covers
This includes upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy, used to closely examine the food pipe, stomach, and intestines. It helps detect ulcers, inflammation, polyps, and other changes that are not visible from the outside.
Why it matters
Endoscopy allows problems to be spotted and often treated in the very same sitting, whether that means taking a biopsy, removing a polyp, or stopping active bleeding, all without the need for open surgery.
ERCP (Bile Duct and Pancreas Procedures)
What it covers
ERCP is a specialised procedure used to examine and treat issues in the bile ducts and pancreas, including blocked ducts caused by gallstones or strictures.
Why it matters
When bile flow is blocked, patients can develop jaundice, infection, or severe pain. ERCP allows Dr. Shafqat Rasool to clear the blockage and place stents where needed, often avoiding the need for major surgery.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
What it covers
EUS is an advanced imaging procedure that combines endoscopy with ultrasound to get a clearer, closer look at the pancreas, bile ducts, and surrounding organs. It is also used to take precise tissue samples from hard to reach areas.
Why it matters
Dr. Shafqat Rasool is one of the few gastroenterologists in the region trained internationally in EUS, which means patients get access to a level of diagnostic accuracy that is not widely available elsewhere in Pakistan.
Liver Disease Management
What it covers
This covers the full range of liver conditions, from hepatitis B and C to fatty liver disease and liver cirrhosis, along with its complications such as fluid buildup and internal bleeding.
Why it matters
Liver disease often develops quietly over years. Regular monitoring and the right treatment plan can slow down damage, manage complications, and in many cases prevent the condition from getting worse.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Care
What it covers
Diagnosis and long term management of conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, including medication planning and monitoring during flare ups.
Why it matters
IBD is a long term condition, but with the right treatment and regular follow up, most patients are able to manage their symptoms and lead a normal, active life.
Liver Biopsy and Fluid Drainage Procedures
What it covers
Ultrasound guided liver biopsies and abdominal fluid drainage (paracentesis), used to confirm a diagnosis or relieve discomfort caused by fluid buildup.
Why it matters
These procedures give a clear, accurate picture of what is happening inside the liver, which helps in choosing the right treatment instead of relying on guesswork.
Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)
What it covers
MASLD is the updated medical term for what most people still know it as fatty liver disease. It is diagnosed when there is excess fat in the liver along with at least one metabolic risk factor such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Dr. Shafqat Rasool assesses how advanced the condition is and checks for early signs of inflammation or scarring.
Why it matters
MASLD is now one of the most common liver conditions in Pakistan, largely linked to diet and lifestyle. Left unchecked, it can quietly progress to liver inflammation and scarring over the years. Identifying it early, and pairing the right medical care with lifestyle changes, can stop it from getting worse.
