L13: Gastric Disorders Flashcards
what is Gastritis?
Inflammation of the gastric mucosa
Dx of Gastritis
Diagnosis mostly histological
Nature of Acute Gastritis
Acute mucosal inflammatory process usually of a transient nature.
Nature of infiltration in Acute Gastritis
Neutrophilic infiltration
Causes of Acute Gastritis
Pathogenesis of Acute Gastritis
Morphology of gastric mucosa in Acute Gastritis
Def of Chronic Gastritis
- Presence of chronic mucosal inflammatory changes leading eventually to mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, usually in the absence of erosions
Causes of Chronic Gastritis
Pathogenesis of Chronic atrophic gastritis
Pathogenesis of Autoimmune atrophic gastritis
Morphology of Chronic Gastritis
Def of Gastric Polyps
luminal lesions projecting above the plane of the mucosal surface.
Main goal in managment of Gastric Polyps
- to rule out the possibility of malignancy
Various subtypes of gastric polyps are recognized and generally divided into:
- Non- neoplastic
- Neoplastic.
epidemeology of Gastric Polyps
Incidence of Gastric Polyps
1-3% of all gastroscopies
Age of Gastric Polyps
2/3 Above age of 60 years.
Frequency and type of gastric polyps vary depending on the population and location.
- H Pylori common & PPI less common →
- H Pylori less common & PPI common →
- Hyperplastic / adenoma > Fundic
- Fundic > Hyperplastic / adenoma
- Fundic glands polyp common in the West.
..
- Specific genetic mutations are responsible for polyp formation.
