18
Q

Classes of treatments for functional dyspepsia? (7)

A

SSRIs (not better than placebo)
TCAs

Acotiamide (works in Japan)

19
Q

Mechanism of the breath test for H pylori?

How long must a patient be off PPI?

A
  1. Baseline breath sample
  2. Drink solution with carbon labeled urea
  3. If h pylori present, urea converted into CO2, absorbed into the blood, and excreted in the lungs

2 weeks

20
Q

H. pylori biopsy and stool antigen – sensitivity decreased if?(3)

Effect of G.I. bleeding on breath test and stool antigen tests?

A

PPI, antibiotics, bismuth

Reduces sensitivity of breath test; causes false positives on stool antigen

21
Q

Difference between C13 and C14 urea breath test?

Do not give latter to?

A

C 13 non-reactive
C 14 low radiation

Pregnant patients

22
Q

In order to use clarithromycin for H pylori, must ensure?

A
  • No patient history of prior macrolide exposure

- Clarithromycin resistance under 15%

23
Q

Disease characterized by hypertrophic gastric folds? Symptoms? Difference in adults and children?

A

Ménétrier’s disease

Abdominal pain, anemia, peripheral edema

Adults - insidious onset and progressive
Children – sudden onset, resolves spontaneously

24
Q

Ménétrier’s disease - Molecular pathogenesis?

Endoscopically, usually has sparing of? In order to diagnose, need?

A

Enhanced RTK-EGFR signaling

Antrum; deep biopsies or snare resections

25
Q

Ménétrier’s disease - histology (4)?

A

-foveolar Hyperplasia
-tortuosity and dilation of the glands
– smooth muscle hyperplasia
– decreased parietal cells

26
Q

Elevated gastrin -differential if appropriate secretion?

A
Appropriate - 
—acid suppressive medications
—atrophic gastritis (autoimmune, pernicious anemia, H pylori)
— chronic renal failure
— vegotomy without antrectomy
27
Q

Elevated gastrin -differential if inappropriate secretion?

A
Inappropriate 
—Zollinger Ellison
—Retained antrum syndrome
— antral predominant H pylori infection
—GOO
—Small bowel resection
28
Q

Retained antrum syndrome?

A

Small segment of the antrum is retained after Billroth 2;

Exposure to alkaline pancreatic secretions increases acid secretion

29
Q

Gastrin levels over thousand are mostly associated with?

A

ZES and chronic atrophic gastritis

30
Q

Diagnosis of the ZES if gastrin is NOT above 10xULN?

A

Gastrin increases over 120 pg/ml after secretin test
