gastritis
causes of acute gastritis
Helicobacter pylori, NSAIDs, drugs, chemicals
clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
Vague abdominal discomfort, epigastric tenderness, and bleeding
trmt for acute gastritis
Discontinue injurious drugs.
Administer antacids.
Decrease acid secretion with H2 receptor antagonist and proton pump inhibitor
tell me about chronic fundal gastritis
Immune
Type A
Associated with autoantibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factor, resulting in gastric atrophy and pernicious anemia
tell me about Chronic Antral Gastritis
Nonimmune
Type B
Associated with H. pylori and NSAIDs
alkaline reflux gastritits
Stomach inflammation caused by reflux of bile and alkaline pancreatic secretions
clinical manifestations of alkaline reflux gastritis
nausea, bilious vomiting, sustained epigastric pain that worsens after eating

genetics, H pylori, chronic use of NSAIDS, Excessive use of alcohol, smoking, acute pancreatitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obesity, cirrhosis, and over 65 years of age
MC peptic ulcer
duodenal
risks for developing duodenal ulcers
lots of parietal cells, high gastrin levels, rapid gastric emptying, smoking
clinical manifestations of duodenal ulcers
chronic intermittent pain in epigastric area 30min-2 hrs after eating, relieved by food
where do gastric ulcers develop
antral region of stomach
how is gastrin secretion in gastric ulcers
normal or less than normal
primary defect in gastric ulcers
inc mucosal permeability to hydrogen ions
trmt for duodenal ulcers
antacids, proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics, surgery
how can you reduce risk of duodenal ulcers
diet high in vitamin A and fiber
cause of gastric ulcers
h pylori
clinical manifestations of gastric ulcers
chronic pain immediately after eating, anorexia, vomiting, weight loss
trmt for gastric ulcers
same as duodenal
stress ulcer?
peptic ulcer related to a severe illness, organ failure, or trauma.
when does an ischemic ulcer develop
within an hour of the event
when does an curling ulcer develop
after burn from ischemia
when does a cushing ulcer develop
head trauma or brain surgery from hypersecretion of HCl from the vagal nuclei
