GASTRITIS
Causes
CHRONIC GASTRITIS :
Noninfectious gastritis
Chronic gastritis of
undetermined etiology or
gastritis of undetermined type
Pathophysiology
Acute/stress gastropathy
NSAID, alcohol, corticosteroids
Stress gastritis : any critical illness under perfusion, within 24 hours,
GI bleeding 30% (respiratory failure, liver/renal disease with
coagulopathy, sepsis, surgery/trauma(Cushings ulcer), burns
(Curlings ulcer), CNS insult)
Chronic gastritis
Congestive gastropathy
Cirrhosis & portal hypertension
Clinical manifestation
Many asymptomatic
Dyspepsia (epigastric
discomfort), N/V,
postprandial fullness,
bloating, occasionally
GI bleeding
Diagnostic study
EGD : scattered
mucosal erosion
or foci of
intramucosal
hemorrage
Treatment
Increased stomach
pH>4 (pepsin is
inactivated & blood
coagulation is
enhanced) : Proton
pump inhibitor
drugs & supportive
measures
Pathophysiology
Inflammation
Toxin : vacuolating
cytotoxin (VacA),
cytotoxin-associated
gene A (CagA)
Acid
Clinical
presentation
Majority individuals
(app. 80%) remain
asymptomatic
Small subset patients
: dyspeptic
symptoms (epigastric
pain, fullness, early
satiety & nausea)
Diagnostic
methods
Performed only if treatment
intended
INVASIVE TEST
Endoscopic
Rapid urease/CLO (>95%)
Biopsy/histology using HE
(>95%)
Biopsy/culture ( highly
spesific only)
NON-INVASIVE TEST
Treatment
Complication
Autoregulation of acid
secretion. Food stimulates
release of gastrin from antral
G cells (G). Gastrin stimulates
enterochromaffin-like cells
(ECL) to release histamine,
which stimulates parietal cells
(P) in the gastric corpus to
secrete acid. Acid stimulates
release of somatostatin from
somatostatin cells (S) in the
antrum, inhibiting further
gastrin release
