Dr. Abhishek Banerjee

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from rural Bengal was referred with chronic diarrhea and weight loss. Dr. Banerjee identified tropical sprue through endoscopic biopsy, an uncommon find in urban settings. Treatment involved prolonged antibiotic therapy and nutritional support, leading to gradual improvement over three months.

An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family presented with recurrent vomiting and failure to thrive. Dr. Banerjee discovered congenital microvillus inclusion disease through electron microscopy, requiring lifelong parenteral nutrition. The family received extensive counseling on home care management.

A 45-year-old construction worker with limited healthcare access presented with hematemesis. Dr. Banerjee diagnosed esophageal varices secondary to undetected NASH cirrhosis. Emergency endoscopic banding stabilized the patient, followed by long-term hepatology follow-up with social worker support.

A 33-year-old pregnant woman in her second trimester developed severe epigastric pain. Dr. Banerjee identified HELLP syndrome with liver involvement, coordinating with obstetricians for premature delivery followed by specialized hepatic care, resulting in positive outcomes for both mother and child.

A 28-year-old software engineer from Kolkata presented with sudden severe abdominal pain and jaundice. Dr. Banerjee diagnosed acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia, a rare trigger in young patients. With lipid apheresis and intensive care, the patient recovered fully in two weeks, returning to work with dietary modifications.
