Expert diagnosis and management of muscle diseases and myopathies by Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti. EMG, muscle biopsy and targeted therapy in Hyderabad.
Myopathies are diseases of skeletal muscle that cause weakness, fatigue and in some cases pain. They can be inherited (muscular dystrophies, metabolic myopathies) or acquired (inflammatory myositis, drug-induced, endocrine).
Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti investigates myopathy with a systematic approach including EMG, muscle enzymes, MRI muscle, biopsy and genetic testing to identify the specific type, then tailors treatment or disease-modifying therapy accordingly.
Difficulty rising from chair, climbing stairs or raising arms above head
Progressive loss of muscle bulk particularly in shoulders and hips
Myalgia, cramps or exercise-induced pain in inflammatory myopathies

Myopathy is a disease of the skeletal muscles causing weakness, cramping, or wasting. Types include inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophies, metabolic, and drug-induced myopathies.
Diagnosis uses EMG, muscle enzymes (CK), MRI muscle, muscle biopsy, genetic testing, and autoantibody panel for inflammatory types.
Inflammatory myopathies respond well to corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. Muscular dystrophies are managed with physiotherapy and supportive care.
Myopathy affects the muscle itself; neuropathy affects the nerves supplying the muscle. NCS/EMG and muscle biopsy distinguish the two.
