About Dr. P. Kar

Dr. P. Kar is an experienced Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist at Max Hospital, with expertise in advanced liver disease management, inflammatory bowel disease, and therapeutic endoscopy. With over 12 years of clinical practice, Dr. Kar has managed complex hepatology cases including hepatitis B and C, liver cirrhosis, and patients being evaluated for liver transplantation. Training at India’s leading gastroenterology institutions has been complemented by international exposure to advanced endoscopic techniques. Kazakhstan has the highest prevalence of Hepatitis B in Central Asia — a fact that makes Indian hepatology expertise particularly relevant for CIS patients. Patients from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Russia regularly consult Dr. Kar for liver disease management, bariatric consultations, and advanced endoscopic procedures at costs 60% lower than comparable treatment in Turkey or Germany. MediKaya Healthcare provides complete Russian-language coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can liver cirrhosis be treated and reversed in India?

A: Liver cirrhosis cannot be fully reversed, but its progression can be halted and managed effectively. India’s hepatologists specialise in antiviral therapies, portal hypertension management, and ascites control. Patients with advanced cirrhosis are evaluated for liver transplantation.

Q: What is the cost of Hepatitis C treatment in India?

A: Hepatitis C treatment in India costs $500–$1,500 for a full 12-week course using generic direct-acting antivirals (sofosbuvir-based regimens) approved by the Indian government. The same treatment in Kazakhstan costs $3,000–$8,000 at private clinics.

Q: Is bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) available in India for international patients?

A: Yes. Laparoscopic gastric sleeve, gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y), and mini-gastric bypass are routinely performed. Cost: $4,000–$6,000 in India vs $12,000–$20,000 in Turkey or Europe. Hospital stay: 3–5 days.

Q: How do I know if I need a liver transplant?

A: Liver transplant is considered when MELD score exceeds 15 or when complications (bleeding varices, hepatic encephalopathy, SBP) are uncontrolled. Send your recent LFT, AFP, ultrasound, and fibroscan reports to MediKaya for a free transplant eligibility assessment.

Q: Can colonoscopy be done in India as a tourist?

A: Yes. Colonoscopy with biopsy if needed can be arranged within 24–48 hours of arrival. Many CIS patients combine a diagnostic colonoscopy with a health check package during a 5–7 day medical visit.
