At STAR Reality Check 2025 panel discussion

Dr. Gandhe Sridhar, Sr. Consultant Nephrology and Transplant Physician and Director of Nephrology and Transplant at STAR Hospitals, highlighted key concerns in kidney health.

* Kidney failure is no longer confined to older age groups
* An increasing number of patients in their 20s and 30s are reaching dialysis and transplant stages
* Early-onset diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome are major contributors
* Lifestyle-related heart disease often progresses to kidney damage within a few years
* Early detection, weight management, and strict blood pressure control can delay kidney failure
* Prevention and awareness play a critical role in improving long-term outcomes

Protecting kidney health starts early. Preventive care remains our shared responsibility.

What’s New in Oncology | Episode 1
Three Recent Updates in Breast Cancer Treatment in 2025

Breast cancer care is entering a new era. In this episode, Dr. Sainath Bhethanabhotla, Senior Consultant and Head of Medical Oncology at STAR Hospitals, shares three major advances in breast cancer treatment in 2025 that are changing outcomes across HER2-positive, triple-negative, and hormone-positive breast cancers.

From reducing recurrence risk in high-risk patients, to introducing chemotherapy-free regimens in advanced disease, to using liquid biopsy for earlier treatment decisions, these updates represent a significant shift in how breast cancer is treated today.

Science is moving forward.
So is cancer care.

Stay informed. Evidence saves lives.

At STAR Reality Check 2025 panel discussion

Dr. Y Rami Reddy, Sr. Consultant, Gastroenterology at STAR Hospitals, addressed key concerns surrounding Irritable Bowel Syndrome and gut health.

* IBS commonly presents with bloating and altered bowel habits
* Nearly one in five individuals may be affected
* Gut symptoms often go undiscussed due to social discomfort
* Self-diagnosis and over-the-counter medication use are common but risky
* Stress, disrupted circadian rhythm, and ultra-processed diets disturb gut bacteria
* Early medical guidance and lifestyle correction can prevent disease progression

Gut health should never be ignored. Awareness and timely care make all the difference.

Some moments test more than courage.
They test readiness.

In the middle of an ordinary journey, when a life was at risk, training took over before fear could. Calm action. Clear thinking. No hesitation.

This is why emergency training matters.
This is why CPR awareness saves lives.

At STAR Hospitals, we strongly encourage everyone to learn CPR because being prepared can change outcomes.

We salute Mr. Shantanu, ER Nurse at STAR Hospitals, Nanakramguda, for reminding us that readiness saves lives.

At STAR Reality Check 2025 panel discussion

Dr. Sreekanth Yerram, Senior Consultant, Interventional Cardiology at STAR Hospitals, highlighted a concerning shift in heart disease patterns.

* Heart attacks are increasingly affecting people below 40 years
* Most cases are now seen between 35 and 50 years, not later life
* The youngest heart attack patient treated was just 23 years old
* College students today recognise stents because classmates have already undergone procedures
* What was once considered rare in young adults is now becoming common
* Early awareness, faster response, and preventive screening are critical

Heart disease is no longer an older-age condition.
The trend is shifting earlier and prevention must begin sooner.

At STAR Reality Check 2025 panel discussion

Dr. Rohini Kasturi, Senior Consultant, Endocrinology at STAR Hospitals, highlighted a worrying shift in diabetes trends.

* Type 2 diabetes is increasingly being diagnosed in teenagers and young adults
* Many patients in their 20s and 30s remain unaware until complications appear
* Undiagnosed diabetes is affecting fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term health
* Mild symptoms like fatigue can hide dangerously high blood sugar levels
* Early screening and timely intervention are critical

Diabetes is no longer an age-related disease.
Awareness and prevention must begin earlier.

Not all coronary blockages are the same. Some are hardened by calcium, making stent placement challenging.

Dr M. Hanumantha Reddy, Sr. Consultant – Interventional Cardiology at STAR Hospitals, Banjara Hills, explains how Shock Wave Therapy, also known as Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), helps treat heavily calcified coronary arteries.

By delivering controlled shock waves inside the artery, IVL breaks down calcium deposits, allowing the stent to expand properly and improving long-term outcomes.

Advanced technology is helping many patients avoid bypass surgery and receive safer, more effective stent treatment.

At STAR Reality Check 2025

Dr. Gopichand Mannam, Managing Director, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery & Director of Cardiovascular Surgical Research, from STAR Hospitals, Hyderabad, highlighted a growing concern.

Non-communicable diseases are rising rapidly, affecting even people in their 20s and 30s. While treatment has advanced, lifestyle-driven illnesses continue to increase. Healthcare can no longer remain reactive. True progress lies in shared responsibility, prevention, and sustained awareness before disease sets in.

Hiatal hernia often presents as a recurring burning sensation in the chest especially after meals or during the night and should never be overlooked.

Dr. Lakshmikanth Tippirneni - Senior Consultant Surgical Gastroenterology Minimal Access and Bariatric Surgery at STAR Hospitals, Banjara Hills explains that this discomfort is commonly caused by acid reflux where stomach contents move back into the oesophagus rather than being related to a cardiac condition.

A weakened gastro oesophageal junction or a hiatal hernia can trigger these symptoms and lead to persistent heartburn if left unaddressed.

Timely diagnostic evaluation helps determine whether medical management is sufficient or if surgical intervention is required.

Early expert led intervention can prevent complications and support long term digestive health.

Cancer Truth Over Fear | Episode 5

Many believe breast cancer affects only women.
That belief is incorrect.

In this episode, Dr Santosh Kumar Chellapuram, Consultant Medical Oncology, Haemato Oncology, and BMT Specialist at STAR Hospitals, explains that breast cancer can also occur in men and is often diagnosed late due to lack of awareness.

With less breast tissue, male breast cancer can spread faster and is frequently detected at a more advanced stage. Dr Santosh emphasises the importance of early evaluation, family history assessment, and appropriate genetic testing when advised.

Awareness changes outcomes.
Early detection saves lives.

Let’s continue breaking cancer myths with facts, clarity, and science.

At STAR Reality Check 2025 panel discussion

Dr. Bharat Kumar Nara, Sr. Consultant and HOD Surgical Gastroenterology, from STAR Hospitals, spoke about how everyday habits shape long-term health.

- Unhealthy food choices, alcohol, smoking, and ignoring early symptoms may seem small at first. Over time, they accumulate.
- The body sends warnings early, and often the gut is the first to signal trouble.
- Paying attention early can make all the difference.
