non cancer-stomach Flashcards
Describe the structural pathologies of the stomach and their outcomes. Describe acute and chronic gastritis, its causes, pathologic features and possible outcomes. Describe the role Helicobacter Pylori plays in gastric pathology Describe the various types of gastric ulcers, their etiologies, pathologic features and outcomes. Describe the variants of hypertrophic gastropathy and their associations and outcomes.

gastropareisis
most common causes of acute gastritis (3)
NSAIDS, EtOH, Stress (burn, surgery, trauma, infection)
steps of actute gastritis pathenogenesis
mucosal barrier breakdown
increased acid/decreased bicarb buffer
decreased mucosal blood flow
injury to exposed mucosal cells by excess acid
epigastric pain with n/v, and possible bleeding
acute gastritis
how to tell acute gastritis moves to chronic
presense of plasma cells
chronic gastritis can lead to
mucosal atrophy or epithelial gastric carcinoma
can cause chronic gastritis
H PYLORI and anything causing acute for a long time (smoking, autoimmune, etc)
clinical dx of h pylori
biopsy or urease test
complications of chronic gastritis
peptic ulcers
gastric cancer
pernicous anemia
intestinal cancer
