lec 8 Flashcards
Chronic NSAID ingestion leads to
- Peptic ulceration
- symptoms of nausea and dyspepsia
- gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation
NSAID-related peptic ulcers usually occur
in the
stomach ,duodenal ulcers are much less common
percentage of developing symptoms of nausea and dyspepsia form NASID
50% of patients
percentage of developing Peptic ulceration form NASID
30% of patients
percentage of developing gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation form NASID
1.5% of patients who develop
an ulcer.
Risk factors for NSAID
21
H pylori and NSAID appear to have
additive effect.
H pylori and NSAID act independently to
increase ulcer & related bleeding
corticosteroid therapy
are not by themselves a risk factor for ulceration but increase PUD risk مع NSAID
rheumatoid arthritis, tobacco smoking, and
alcohol consumption
postulated to increase PUD risk in a patient taking an NSAID
NSAIDs cause gastric mucosal damage by two primary mechanisms
- Direct or topical irritation of gastric epithelium
2. Systemic inhibition of endogenous mucosal prostaglandin synthesis
Direct irritation of the mucosal lining by NSAIDs occurs because
weak acids.
Topical irritation is therefore most pronounced with
more acidic NSAIDs such as aspirin
While the direct irritant effects of NSAIDs play a contributory يساهمrole in the
development of
NSAID-induced gastritis
the direct irritant effects of NSAIDs generally plays a minor role in the evolution of
NSAID-induced PUD.
