GI & Peptic 1 Flashcards
What are the 3 Acid-Peptic Diseases?
- GERD
- Peptic ulcer (gastric & duodenal)
- Stress-related mucosal injury
Over 90% of peptic ulcers are caused by what 2 things?
- Helicobacter pylori
- NSAIDs
What induced this Peptic Ulcer?
- Chronic
- Site of damage: Duodenum
- Depend on Intragastric pH
- Sxs: epigastric pain
- Ulcer depth: superficial
- Less severe GI bleeding, single vessel
H. pylori
What induced this Peptic Ulcer?
- Chronic
- Site of damage: Stomach
- Less dependent on Intragastric pH
- Asymptomatic
- Deep ulcer depth
- More severe GI bleeding, single vessel
NSAID
What inuced this Peptic Ulcer?
- Acute
- Site of damage: Stomach
- Less dependent on Intragastric pH
- Asymptomatic
- Most superficial Ulcer depth
- GI bleeding is more severe (superficial mucosal capillaries)
SRMD
(stress related mucosal disease)
What are the two MOAs of the two drug classes which treat ulcers?
- agents that reduce intragastric acidity
- agents that promote mucosal defense
What medication is used for “Esophageal Clearance” to tx GERD?
Bethanechol
What medication is used for “Gastric Emptying” for tx of GERD?
Metoclopramide
Treatments for “Gastric Acid”
- H2 receptor antagonists
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI)
- Omeprazole
What are the 3 receptors in a Parietal Cell?
- Gastrin (CCK-B)
- Histamine (H2)
- Acetylcholine (muscarinic, M3)
Acid Secretion
Which neurotransmitter is released from vagal postganglionic nerves?
Acetylcholine
What are the 3 agents which reduce Intragastric Acidity?
- Antacids
- H2 receptor antagonists (H2 blockers)
- Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI)
Which Antacid?
- Reacts rapidly with HCL to produce carbon dioxide & sodium chloride
-
Adverse effects:
- CO2 gastric distention & belching
- Unreacted alkali is readily absorbed, potentially causing metabolic alkalosis when given in high doses or to pts w/ renal insufficiency
- Sodium chloride absorption may exacerbate fluid retenion in pts w/ HF, HTN, & renal insufficiency
Sodium Bicarbonate
What are 2 examples of Sodium Bicarbonate Antacids?
- Baking soda
- Alka seltzer
Which Antacid?
- Less soluble & reacts more slowly w/ HCL to form carbon dioxide & calcium chloride
-
Adverse effects:
- belching or metabolic alkalosis
- excessive doses of either sodium bicarb or calicum carbonate w/ calcium-containing products can lead to hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, and metabolic alkalosis (milk alkali syndrome)
Calcium Carbonate
