Q

h.pylori pathogenesis

A

Releases ammonia from urea. raise local ph. acts on antral G cells, release of gastrin, hypergastrinemia, result in hypergastrinemia, result in hypersecretion of gastric acid.
cause production of proinflammatory cytokines by mucosal epithelial cells, activate neutrophils and macrophages, release of lysosomes, ros, impair mucosal .
some cytokines also mediate gastrin release. leading to increased acid secretion.
