Rheumatology Clinic in Moradabad – Dr. Kriti Kishore at Jigyasa Hospital
Dr. Kriti Kishore leads the rheumatology department at Jigyasa Hospital, Moradabad. She evaluates and manages autoimmune diseases, inflammatory arthritis, chronic pain, gout, osteoporosis, and other joint and musculoskeletal conditions.
Her approach combines detailed clinical evaluation, appropriate diagnostic testing, individualised treatment, and long-term follow-up. Patients receive guidance throughout the diagnostic process and ongoing care when their condition requires regular monitoring.
A Dedicated Home for Complex, Chronic Joint and Autoimmune Care
Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions rarely fit neatly into a single symptom or a single test. A patient with joint pain may also experience fatigue, skin changes, unexplained fever, or symptoms involving other organs.
A blood test result may need to be interpreted alongside months of symptom history, examination findings, and imaging. Managing these conditions well requires more than an isolated consultation. It requires a clinical setup built around diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and long-term follow-up.
The Rheumatology Clinic at Jigyasa Hospital, Moradabad, led by Dr. Kriti Kishore, provides this type of continuous care for patients with arthritis, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, and related musculoskeletal conditions across Moradabad and the surrounding region.
About the Rheumatology Department at Jigyasa Hospital
The rheumatology department functions as a specialised unit within the hospital. It is designed to evaluate, diagnose, and manage conditions affecting joints, muscles, connective tissues, blood vessels, and multiple organ systems.
Rather than treating joint pain as an isolated complaint, the clinic follows a whole-patient approach. This is important because autoimmune and inflammatory diseases can involve the skin, eyes, kidneys, lungs, nerves, and other organs.
Core Principles of the Clinic
- • Accurate diagnosis before treatment, supported by history, examination, laboratory tests, and imaging when required.
- • Individualised care because patients with the same diagnosis may have different disease patterns and treatment needs.
- • Long-term partnership for chronic conditions that require continuing monitoring and treatment adjustment.
- • Integration with hospital-wide resources when conditions affect organs beyond the joints.

Diagnostic Capabilities at the Rheumatology Clinic
Accurate diagnosis in rheumatology depends on combining clinical evaluation with the right laboratory and imaging tools. The clinic at Jigyasa Hospital is supported by the following diagnostic services.
1. Comprehensive Laboratory Testing
Access to a NABL-accredited laboratory supports testing for autoimmune markers such as ANA, rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANCA, complement levels, and other antibody panels. Routine inflammatory markers, including ESR and CRP, may also be assessed when clinically appropriate. NABL provides accreditation for medical laboratories under ISO 15189. [53]
2. Joint Fluid Analysis
For patients with a swollen or painful joint, aspiration and fluid analysis can help distinguish infection, gout, pseudogout, inflammatory arthritis, and non-inflammatory causes. In selected cases, aspiration may also reduce pressure and discomfort. [51]
3. Imaging Support
Coordination with radiology services provides access to X-rays, ultrasound, and MRI when needed to assess joint damage, detect inflammation, and evaluate the spine or sacroiliac joints in suspected spondyloarthropathies.
4. Bone Density Testing
Patients at risk of osteoporosis because of age, menopause, previous fractures, low bone density, or long-term steroid use may require bone density assessment and fracture-risk evaluation.
Treatment Services Offered
Beyond diagnosis, the rheumatology clinic provides treatment options tailored to each patient's condition, disease severity, treatment response, and long-term health goals.
Medication Management
- • NSAIDs and corticosteroids for symptom control when clinically appropriate.
- • Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, including methotrexate and related medicines, for long-term disease control.
- • Biologic and targeted synthetic therapies when conventional treatment does not provide adequate control.
- • Uric-acid-lowering therapy for selected patients with recurrent gout.
In-Clinic Procedures
- • Steroid joint injections for selected cases of localised joint inflammation.
- • Joint aspiration for diagnostic and symptomatic purposes.
- • Platelet-rich plasma therapy for appropriately selected patients with osteoarthritis or related conditions.

The Patient Journey at the Rheumatology Clinic
First Visit
The first consultation usually includes a detailed history and physical examination. Depending on the findings, relevant laboratory tests, imaging, or other investigations may be recommended. Bring a symptom timeline, current medicine list, and previous reports whenever possible.
Diagnostic Phase
Some diagnoses can be reached during the first consultation, while others may require follow-up tests and a second visit to review results and refine the clinical picture.
Treatment Initiation
Once a diagnosis is established, Dr. Kriti Kishore develops an individualised treatment plan and explains the reason for each treatment, expected improvement timeline, potential risks, and monitoring requirements.
Ongoing Follow-Up
Regular follow-up helps track disease activity, adjust treatment, monitor medicine safety, and identify complications early. This is particularly important for chronic autoimmune conditions.
