Timely Diagnosis Transforms Life of Rural SLE Patient: Osborn Healthcare’s Mission in Action
Bargadwa, Gorakhpur — In a heartening example of how timely and precise medical care can change lives, a 29-year-old woman from a rural village near Mehdawal was recently diagnosed and successfully treated for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) at Osborn Healthcare, led by Dr. Deepak Chandra Srivastava.
Initial Misdiagnosis and Struggles
The patient had been experiencing persistent joint pain and weakness for several weeks. A local physician in her village had noticed a creatinine level of 1.9 mg/dL, and her urine routine microscopy showed 2+ proteinuria. However, due to limited diagnostic resources and clinical suspicion, she was misdiagnosed with early Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and treated with soda bicarb and tramadol for pain.
The joint pain worsened, her general health deteriorated, and she feared a future dependent on dialysis or lifelong medications.
Turning Point: Osborn Healthcare
Her family brought her to Dr. Deepak at Osborn Clinic, Bargadwa, Gorakhpur, known for offering advanced diagnostic care in rural eastern UP. A thorough clinical assessment revealed classic signs of SLE, an autoimmune condition that can mimic multiple systemic diseases.
“Her case was a textbook example of how autoimmune disorders are often missed in peripheral areas due to lack of awareness and diagnostic support,” said Dr. Deepak, MD Medicine and Nephrology Fellow and founder of Osborn Healthcare.
Correct Diagnosis and Successful Management
At Osborn, the patient underwent ANA and dsDNA tests, which confirmed SLE with renal involvement (Lupus Nephritis). A carefully tailored treatment plan involving was initiated and renal biopsy was done.
Within a few weeks, her creatinine stabilized, joint pain resolved, and proteinuria began to decline. She is now on regular follow-up and leading a symptom-free life, with excellent kidney function.
Patient Testimonial
“When we first came to Dr. Deepak, we had lost hope. But within a month of starting treatment, I felt alive again. My pain vanished, and I didn’t need to travel to Lucknow or Delhi for treatment. Everything was here at Osborn,” said the patient, with folded hands and a teary smile.
