P2 PATHOLOGY Flashcards
cardia of the stomach is lined by which cells
mucin secreting foveolar cells
type WBC present in avute gastritis
Neutrophils
Protection mechanisms of the stomach
1-mucin secretions
2-HCO3 secretion
3-rich vascular supply
main causes of acute gastritis
1-NSAIDs
2-gastric injury
3- reduced mucin & HCO3
4-hypoxemia
5-ingestion of harsh chemicals
NSDAIDs induce gastritis by inhibiting
COX- dependant synthesis of prostaglandins
Gastric injury induce acute gastritis by inhibiting
gastric HCO3 transporters
what transports HCO3
Ammonium ions
reduced mucin & HCO3 mainly seen in what age group
Elderly patients
presence of erosion and haemorrhage in acute gastritis is termed as
acute erosive hemorrhagic gastritis
common cause of chronic gastritis
H.pylori infection
other causes for chronic gastritis
Autoimmune gastritis
chronic NSAIDs
radiation therapy , chronic bile reflux
Patients come complaining of
Nausea , vomiting
upper abdominal discomfort
H.pylori infection causes gastritis in which part of the stomach
antral gastritis
incase of autoimmune gastritis can result in
hypergastrinemia
hypergastrinemia in autoimmune gastritis is due to
reduced acid output
if the gastritis is spreading to body and fundus , this increase risk for
gastric cancer
