Acid Peptic Disease Flashcards
First line of defense mucosal defense system
mucus-bicarbonate-phospholipid layer
two principal gastric secretory products capable of inducing mucosal injury
Hydrochloric acid
pepsinogen
the principal contributors to basal acid secretion
Cholinergic input via the vagus nerve
histaminergic input from local gastric sources
released from endocrine cells found in the gastric mucosa (D cells) in response to HCl
somatostatin
synthesizes and secretes pepsinogen
chief cells in gastric fundus
define ulcer
breaks in gastric mucosa greater than 5 mm in size
Active site of H K ATPase pump
alpha subunit function of B subunit is unclear
where is the chief cell primarily found
gastric fundus
Peak incidence of Gastric ulcers
6th decade of life
less common than DUs,
affects males
MC location of duodenal ulcers
first portion of duodenum >95%
90% located within 3 cm of the pylorus
Size giant ulcer
3-6 cm
MC location of benign GUs
distal to the junction between the antrum and the acid secretory mucosa
NSAID related GUS
foveolar hyperplasia
epithelial regeneration in the absence of H pylori
deem of lamina propia
Gastric ulcers
occur within 3 cm of the pylorus and are commonly accompanied by duodenal ulcers and normal or high gastric acid production
Type III
Gastric ulcers
found in the cardia and are associated with low gastric acid production
Type IV
Gastric ulcers
occur in the gastric body and tend to be associated with low gastric acid production
Type I
Gastric ulcers
occur in the antrum and gastric acid can vary from low to normal
Type II
H. pylori
Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma
gastric adenocarcinoma
previous name of H pylori
Campylobacter pyloridis
somatostatin is released from endocrine cells found in the gastric mucosa (D cells) in response to
HCl
Theories for increased ulcer diathesis in cigarette smokers
> altered gastric emptying
decreased proximal duodenal bicarbonate production
increased risk for H. pylori infection
cigarette-induced generation of noxious mucosal free radicals
Chronic disorders with strong association to pUD
(1) Systemic mastocytosis,
(2) chronic pulmonary disease,
(3) chronic renal failure,
(4) cirrhosis,
(5) nephrolithiasis
(6) 1-antitrypsin deficiency
Chronic disorders with POSSIBLE association to pUD
(1) hyperparathyroidism,
(2) coronary artery disease
(3) polycythemia vera
(4) chronic pancreatitis
Non HP non NSAID ulcer infectious causes
Cytomegalovirus
Herpes simplex virus
