Our Services
Dr. Chin Ka Kiat offers a comprehensive range of respiratory and internal medicine services, ensuring accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments for various lung and airway conditions.
Scope of Diseases Treated
Asthma & Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the airways, leading to breathlessness, wheezing, and coughing. Management includes inhalers, pulmonary rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications.
Chronic Cough & Breathlessness
Persistent cough lasting more than eight weeks may indicate underlying lung disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or airway hypersensitivity. Comprehensive assessments are conducted to identify the cause and tailor treatment accordingly.
Lung Infections: Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Tuberculosis & Bronchiectasis
Infections such as bacterial and viral pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), bronchitis and bronchiectasis can cause long-term lung damage. Treatment includes targeted antibiotics, airway clearance techniques, and long-term monitoring.
Lung Cancer & Pulmonary Nodules
Small growths in the lungs that may be benign or malignant. Early screening with low-dose CT scans and biopsy techniques aids in prompt diagnosis and treatment planning.
Interstitial Lung Disease & Pulmonary Fibrosis
A group of conditions causing lung scarring, leading to breathlessness and reduced oxygen intake. Advanced medications and rehabilitation strategies help slow disease progression.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea & Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Characterized by loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and daytime fatigue. Diagnosis through sleep studies and treatment with CPAP therapy or lifestyle changes can significantly improve quality of life.
Pleural Diseases: Effusion and Pneumothorax
Conditions like pleural effusion (fluid in the lung lining) and pneumothorax (collapsed lung) require imaging and, in some cases, medical procedures such as pleural drainage or pleurodesis.
Bronchial Stenosis & Complex Airway Disorders
Narrowing of the airways due to scarring, infections, or tumors can lead to breathing difficulties. Treatment options include bronchoscopy, stent placement, and airway dilation procedures.
COVID-19 & Post-Infectious Lung Complications
Patients recovering from COVID-19 may experience long-term lung damage, fibrosis, or persistent breathlessness. Lung function tests, imaging, and rehabilitation programs assist in optimizing recovery.
Lung Health & Diagnostic Services
Advanced Lung Function Testing
Spirometry : Measures lung capacity and airflow limitation.
Impulse Oscillometry : Detects small airway diseases with minimal effort.
Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FENO) Test : Measures airway inflammation for precise asthma management.
Bronchoscopy, Bronchoalveolar Lavage & Biopsy
Diagnostic procedures to assess airway and lung tissue conditions, aiding in targeted treatment planning.
CPAP & BiPAP Therapy and Titration Studies
Comprehensive assessment and adjustment of positive airway pressure therapy for sleep apnea, COPD and other respiratory conditions to ensure optimal breathing support.
Comprehensive Imaging Services
Chest X-ray : Essential for diagnosing infections, lung diseases, and structural abnormalities.
CT Scan : Detailed imaging to detect lung nodules, fibrosis, and complex conditions.
Allergy & Respiratory Inflammation Tests
– Blood and skin tests to identify allergens triggering respiratory symptoms.
– Biomarker assessments for chronic inflammatory lung diseases.
Sleep Study
Overnight assessment for diagnosing sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea.
