Expert myasthenia gravis diagnosis and immunotherapy by Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti. Acetylcholine receptor antibody testing and personalised treatment in Hyderabad.
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorder where antibodies (AChR or MuSK) block the acetylcholine receptor, causing fatigable muscle weakness particularly affecting the eyes, face, swallowing and limbs.
Dr. Bharath Kumar Surisetti diagnoses MG through antibody testing, repetitive nerve stimulation and single-fibre EMG, then manages the condition with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, immunosuppressants and biologic therapies for refractory disease.
Drooping eyelid and double vision - earliest and most common symptoms
Weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest
Slurred speech and swallowing difficulty in bulbar MG
Respiratory failure from diaphragm weakness - a medical emergency
Proximal limb weakness making arm raising or climbing stairs difficult
Over-medication crisis with increased secretions and muscle fasciculations
AChR and MuSK antibody titres; seronegative cases may need single-fibre EMG.
Decremental response on 3Hz stimulation confirming neuromuscular junction defect.
All MG patients screened for thymoma with CT chest; thymectomy may be curative.
Pyridostigmine plus immunosuppression; biologics (eculizumab, efgartigimod) for refractory cases.
DM-qualified neurologist with 9+ years and 2000+ patients treated
MRI, EEG, NCS/EMG and comprehensive neurological workup
Treatment plans tailored to your condition and lifestyle
Latest international neurology guidelines followed strictly
No unnecessary delays - urgent cases seen on priority
Ongoing management and monitoring for chronic conditions

MG is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease causing fatigable weakness — weakness that worsens with use and improves with rest. It commonly affects eyes, face, swallowing, and limb muscles.
Most common: drooping eyelid (ptosis), double vision (diplopia), difficulty swallowing, and slurred speech.
Diagnosis includes AChR/anti-MuSK antibodies, repetitive nerve stimulation, single-fibre EMG (most sensitive), and CT chest to look for thymoma.
A crisis involves severe respiratory muscle weakness requiring ICU care. Triggers: infections, surgery, or medication changes. It is a medical emergency.
Pyridostigmine (symptomatic), prednisolone, azathioprine, IVIG/plasmapheresis for crises, and thymectomy in AChR-positive patients with or without thymoma.
