Gastritis & PUD Flashcards
What is gastsritis?
inflammation associated with mucosal injury
What is gastropathy?
epithelial cell damage and regeneration with minimal to no associated inflammation from irritants
What immune cell to you expect to see in acute and chronic gastritis respectively?
acute-neutrophilic
chronic-lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages
Key features of acute helicobacter pylori gastritis?
epigastric pain, nausea, vmoiting, NO fever
acute inflamatory changes
antrum
usually goes to chronic
Key features of chronic helicobacter pylori gastritis?
antrum and body
early-increased gastrin, decreased somatostatin–>increased acid sec
late-fall in acid secretion w/loss of G cells facilitates proximal migration
Common histological finding of chronic H. pylori?
lymphoid follices
What is helicobacter heilmannii gastritis?
uncommon
treated like H pylori
What is metaplasic (chronic) atrophic gastritis? Types?
mucosal thinning, gland loss, change in epithelial cell types
autoimmune and environmental types
What is pseudopyloric metaplasia?
replacement of parietal and chief cells in oxyntic glands by mucus secreting cells found in the antrum
Waht is intestinal metaplasia?
replacement of suface, foveolar and glandular epithelium in oxyntic or antral mucosa by intestinal epithelium (goblet cells)
What are the main types of intestinal metaplasia?
Complete (type I)-fully formed SI epithelium
Incomplete (type II&III)-goblet cells interspersed among gastric-type mucin cells
Which type of intestinal metaplasia is associated with an increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma?
Type III
Key features of AMAG?
inherited, associated w/immune response in the oxyntic mucosa against the parietal cells AND IF more common in women risk of pern. an. (vit B12 deficiency) assoc. w/other autoimmune body and fundus
AMAG increases the risk of what malignancies?
gastric carcinoid tumors
gastric adenocarcinoma
esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Key features of EMAG?
environemental exposure to nitroso compouds or H. pylori
NO achloriydia, serum gastrin NOT elevated, NO abs against parietal cells/IF, NO pern. an.
increased risk of gastric ulcer
EMAG increases the risk for what type of cancer?
intestinal type gastric cancer
What is granulomatous gastritis?
organized aggregate of histiocytic, lymphocytic and plasma infiltrate
rare
can be infectious, non infectious or idiopathic
can be non caseating, caseating or necrotizing
What is mucosal eosinophilic gastritis?
distral antrum, nonspecific symptoms
nodularity on EGD
30s, assoc w/allergies, tx w/prednisone
What is eosinophilic gastritis muscle layer disease?
tickened rigid gut, distal antrum
Waht is subserosal eosinophilic gastritis?
ascites, can occur w/ mucosal or muscle layer disease
What are the 3 main causes of lymphocytic gastritis?
celiac disease,
H pylori
Varioliform gastritis
What are the causes and symptoms of acute hemorrhagic erosive gastropathy?
damage to epithelium via agents or hypoxia
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis
What are the causes and symptoms of chronic chemical gastropathy?
long-term exposure to substances that injure the gastric mucosa
foveolar hyperplasia, edema, inc sm muscle in lamina propria, vascular dilation and congestion
What is hyperplastic gastropathy (menetrier’s disease)?
enlarged gastric folds/hyperplasia of gastric epithelial cells
caused by overproducition of TGFa which leads to proliferation of epithelials cells
CMV may cause in kids
Key features of CMV?
herpes
dsDNA
owl’s eye inclusion bodies
What are the symptoms of menetrier’s disease?
abdominal pain, protein losing enteropathy, wt loss, nausea, vomiting
