Question 28

what causes adult form of menetriers

Answer 28

over expression of protein, transforming growth factor alpha (TGF- alpha)

Question 29

atrophic gastritis

Answer 29

• chronic inflammation of stomach mucosa leading to loss of gastric glandular cells and replacement by fibrous tissue and numerous goblet cells
• decreased gastric glands
• decreased acid production

what causes atrophic gastritis?

Answer 30

h. pylori or autoimmune

Question 31

if autoimmune cause of atrophic gastritis, what are the ab against? What does this lead to?

Answer 31

gastric parietal cells which release Intrinsic factor. This leads to pernicious anemia due to non absorption of B12

Question 32

what are autoimmune atrophic gastritis patients more likely to develop?

Answer 32

achlorhydria and gastric carcinoma

Question 33

autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis

Answer 33

immune response directed towards parietal cells and intrinsic factor
