Dr. Sujit Bhattacharya is a Consultant Endocrinologist associated with Fortis Hospital Anandapur and CMRI Hospital, Kolkata. He is listed as a Consultant in Endocrinology at Fortis and a Senior Consultant Endocrinologist at CMRI. His professional profiles report 33 years of overall medical experience, with specialist expertise in diabetes, thyroid diseases, pituitary disorders, adrenal conditions and other hormonal and metabolic disorders.
Dr. Sujit Bhattacharya holds MBBS, MD in General Medicine, DNB in General Medicine, DM in Endocrinology, MNAMS and MRCP credentials. His published educational history includes undergraduate and postgraduate medical training at the University of Calcutta, followed by a DNB qualification and advanced Endocrinology training at PGIMER, Chandigarh. His clinical and academic background supports the evaluation of complex endocrine and metabolic conditions.
Diabetes management is a significant area of Dr. Bhattacharya's documented clinical interest. His professional profile identifies Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, diabetes in younger patients, diabetes associated with kidney disease and insulin treatment among his areas of expertise. Diabetes care requires individualised assessment of blood glucose control, medication, nutritional factors and potential long-term complications.
Dr. Bhattacharya also has specialist experience in thyroid and pituitary disorders. Thyroid conditions can affect metabolism, body weight, heart rate and general well-being, while pituitary diseases may influence several hormonal systems. Assessment may include hormone testing, imaging and evaluation of associated symptoms. His professional interests also include thyroid cancer-related endocrine care, which may require coordination with surgeons and oncology specialists.
Adrenal, parathyroid and other endocrine disorders are additional areas of his reported clinical practice. These conditions can affect blood pressure, metabolism, calcium regulation, reproduction and other body functions. Specialist evaluation involves reviewing symptoms, relevant medical history and targeted hormonal investigations. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may require long-term monitoring or collaboration with other medical teams.
Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Sujit Bhattacharya is involved in postgraduate medical teaching, research and multicentre clinical trials. CMRI identifies him as Director of the SCB Diabetes & Hormone Research Foundation and reports his participation in national and international academic programmes. Patients seeking specialist consultations for diabetes, thyroid disease, hormonal imbalances or metabolic conditions in Kolkata can enquire through Fortis Hospital Anandapur, CMRI Hospital or his listed outpatient clinic, subject to current appointment availability.
Endocrinology focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the body's hormone-producing glands. These include the thyroid, pancreas, pituitary, adrenal and parathyroid glands. Specialist assessment considers symptoms, medical history and appropriate hormonal investigations. Treatment may involve medication, lifestyle adjustments, monitoring or referral for specialised procedures when necessary.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body produces little or no insulin because insulin-producing cells are damaged by an immune-related process. Management requires insulin therapy, regular glucose monitoring and education about nutrition, physical activity and hypoglycaemia. Treatment plans are individualised according to age, lifestyle and medical needs.
Type 2 diabetes is characterised by impaired insulin action and, over time, inadequate insulin production. Management involves reviewing glucose levels, HbA1c, cardiovascular risk and associated medical conditions. Treatment may include nutrition changes, physical activity, appropriate medicines and insulin when indicated, along with monitoring for long-term complications.
Managing diabetes in patients with chronic kidney disease requires careful consideration of kidney function, medication selection and the risk of hypoglycaemia. Assessment includes glucose control, kidney investigations and associated cardiovascular risk factors. Treatment is adjusted according to the patient's overall condition, often in coordination with nephrology specialists.
Gestational diabetes develops or is first recognised during pregnancy and can affect maternal and fetal health. Management involves monitoring blood glucose, reviewing nutrition and physical activity, and using medication when necessary. Care is coordinated with the obstetric team, with follow-up after delivery to assess future diabetes risk.
Insulin therapy may be required for Type 1 diabetes, selected patients with Type 2 diabetes and certain other medical circumstances. Treatment planning considers glucose measurements, meal patterns, activity levels and the risk of low blood sugar. Education about insulin administration, storage and glucose monitoring is an important part of care.
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include tiredness, weight changes, constipation and sensitivity to cold. Diagnosis generally involves thyroid function tests. Treatment commonly uses thyroid hormone replacement, with the dose adjusted according to laboratory results, symptoms and individual medical circumstances.
Hyperthyroidism occurs when excessive thyroid hormone is produced, potentially causing palpitations, weight loss, tremors and heat intolerance. Assessment includes thyroid function tests and investigations to identify the cause. Treatment may involve medication, radioactive iodine or surgical referral depending on the diagnosis and patient-specific factors.
Thyroid nodules are growths within the thyroid gland, most of which are benign. Evaluation may include ultrasound, thyroid function testing and needle biopsy when indicated. Patients with thyroid cancer may require coordinated endocrine, surgical and oncology care, including hormone management and monitoring after treatment.
Pituitary disorders can alter the release of hormones that regulate growth, reproduction, thyroid function and adrenal activity. Symptoms depend on the hormones affected and may include fatigue, menstrual changes, headaches or visual problems. Assessment involves targeted blood tests and imaging when appropriate. Management depends on the underlying condition.
Adrenal gland disorders may affect the production of cortisol, aldosterone and other hormones involved in stress response, blood pressure and metabolism. Evaluation considers symptoms, hormone testing and selected imaging investigations. Treatment depends on whether hormone production is excessive, insufficient or associated with another adrenal condition.
Parathyroid glands regulate calcium and phosphate balance through parathyroid hormone. Abnormal gland function can affect bones, kidneys and other organs. Assessment may involve calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, kidney function and parathyroid hormone testing. Management depends on the cause and severity of the biochemical abnormality.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal and metabolic condition that may cause irregular menstrual cycles, acne, excessive hair growth and difficulties with ovulation. Assessment considers symptoms, medical history and appropriate investigations. Treatment may include lifestyle measures, medication and coordination with gynaecology specialists according to individual reproductive goals.
Obesity can be associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol levels and other metabolic complications. Endocrine assessment helps identify relevant medical conditions and risk factors. Management may involve nutritional counselling, physical activity, behavioural approaches and suitable medications, with treatment tailored to the patient's health and circumstances.
Gonadal hormone disorders can affect testosterone, oestrogen and other hormones involved in reproductive function and sexual development. Symptoms vary according to age and cause. Assessment involves clinical history, examination and appropriate hormone investigations. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis and may require collaboration with reproductive medicine specialists.
Long-standing diabetes may affect nerves, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes and feet. Regular assessment helps identify complications and supports appropriate preventive care. Foot examinations may evaluate sensation, skin condition and circulation. Patients with ulcers, infection or significant circulation problems may require urgent multidisciplinary treatment.
