  • assoc with neurofibromatosis type 1
47
Q

pathogenesis of autoimmune chronic gastric

A

-type 4 hypersensitivity reaction leading to CD4+ T-cell mediated destruction of parietal cells (H+/K+ ATPase) in the BODY and FUNDUS
(parietal cells make HCL and IF; i.e. make stomach acid and allow absorption of B12)

48
Q

hallmarks of duodenal ulcer (DU) (most common ulcer)

A
  • EGD= brunner gland hypertrophy (duodenal glands that secrete acid neutralizing factors in response to gastric acid entering SI)
