Symptoms of chronic gastritis

summary

Chronic gastritis is a chronic disease of gastric mucosa caused by different etiologies. It is a common disease, and its incidence rate is the highest among all kinds of gastric diseases. Since the wide application of fiberoptic endoscopy, the understanding of this disease has been improved significantly. Common chronic superficial gastritis, chronic erosive gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis. In the latter, intestinal metaplasia often involves the cardia, accompanied by loss of G cells and decreased gastrin secretion. It can also involve the gastric body, accompanied by the loss of acid secreting glands, resulting in the decrease of gastric acid, pepsin and endogenous factors. Let's talk about the symptoms of chronic gastritis

Symptoms of chronic gastritis

1. The basic gastric secretion (Bao) and histamine test or after pentagastrin were measured to determine the high acid secretion (MAO) and peak acid secretion (PAO) in order to judge the gastric acid secretion function, which is helpful to the diagnosis and clinical treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis. The gastric acid of chronic superficial gastritis is normal, and the gastric acid of extensive and severe chronic atrophic gastritis is decreased.

2. The serum gastrin level of chronic atrophic gastritis is often moderately increased, which is because the lack of gastric acid can not inhibit the secretion of G cells. If the disease is serious, not only the secretion of gastric acid and pepsinogen is reduced, but also the secretion of internal factors is reduced, thus affecting the decrease of vitamin B12; Serum PCA was often positive (more than 75%).

3. With the development of digestive endoscopy, upper gastrointestinal radiography is rarely used in the diagnosis of gastritis. When the fine structure of gastric mucosa was shown by air barium double contrast, atrophic gastritis may appear relatively flat and reduced gastric mucosal folds.

matters needing attention

The harmful components in tobacco can increase the secretion of gastric acid and stimulate gastric mucosa. Excessive smoking can cause bile reflux. Excessive drinking or long-term drinking of alcohol can make gastric mucosal congestion, edema, and even erosion, the incidence of chronic gastritis increased significantly. Smoking and drinking should be avoided. Too sour, too spicy and other irritating food and cold food is not easy to digest should be avoided as far as possible, when eating to chew slowly, so that the food is fully mixed with saliva, conducive to digestion and reduce stomach irritation. Diet should be quantitative on time, rich in nutrition, eat more food containing vitamin A, B, C. Avoid strong tea, strong coffee and other irritant drinks.
