CM Peptic Ulcer Disease

        Help!  

Question
Answer
half of people over age 60 have   gastritis  
🗑
Three types of gastritis   Acute and hemorrhagic gastritis, non-erosive (chronic), Distinctive. Endoscopic visualization corresponds poorly. Distinction requires biopsy  
🗑
Petechial hemorrhages and small erosions are seen in which type of gastritis?   Hemorrhagic gastritis  
🗑
Causes of acute hemorrhagic gastritis   stress lesions in seriously ill patients, drugs (NSAIDs, alcohol, corrosive ingestion), Trauma (NG tubes, FB ingestion, radiation), Vascular, Reflux, H. pylori  
🗑
Non-erosive (chronic) gastritis is caused by   H. pylori or NSAIDs and bile reflux(chronic superificial chemical gastritis), autoimmune, environmental  
🗑
H. pylori can cause what kind of gastritis?   acute and chronic  
🗑
Lifetime PUD prevalence   11-14%  
🗑
3 most important etiological factors for PUD are   H. pylori, NSAIDs, Acid (excess acid production is a rare cause)  
🗑
Number one cause of PUD   H. pylori. Also a major cause in gastric ulcers  
🗑
H. pylori facts   gram negative rod, spiral, flagellated, stomach is only known reservoir, transmission is suspected fecal-oral  
🗑
Prevalence of H. pylori in developed nations   80%  
🗑
Populations in which H. pylori is more prevalent   AA and Hispanics  
🗑
Where is H. pylori found?   Resides in the mucosal layer adjacent to the epithelial surface. Usually found in the antrum of the stomach  
🗑
Tests to identify H. pylori   Serology, biopsy with histology, biopsy with urease test, urease breath test, stool antigen  
🗑
Which tests will not be affected by concurrent use of PPI, Abx, or bismuth?   Serology and biopsy with histology. (note: serology can stay positive for years even with treatment)  
🗑
H. pylori Tx   Triple therapy for 2 weeks. PPI, Clarithromycin and amoxicillin. Confirm eradication (urease breath, blood test or stool test)  
🗑
What percentage of people may require retreatment?   20%  
🗑
H. pylori is associated with   gastric adenoCa and MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma  
🗑
Subepithelial petechiae occur within one hour of ______ ingestion   NSAID. Erosions if repeated doses in 24 hours.  
🗑
Two types of NSAID injury   Topical and Systemic  
🗑
What protects the gastric mucosa?   Prostaglandin (PGE2) by increasing mucin production, increasing mucosal blood flow, increasing bicarb production  
🗑
How do NSAIDs affect PGE2 production   decrease. except Celebrex  
🗑
Syndrome caused by gastrinoma   Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (associated with MEN I syndrome)  
🗑
Where is ZE PUD most common?   majority in duodenal bulb, but also in distal duodenum and jejunum  
🗑
Multiple ulcers in the small bowel and diarrhea (steatorrhea) may suggest:   Zollinger-Ellison syndrome  
🗑
What must you dc before a gastrin test?   your PPI  
🗑
Nl fasting levels of gastrin   <150pg/ml.  
🗑
Fasting level of >1000pg/ml is virtually diagnostic for   gastrinoma  
🗑
What tests can be used for ZE?   fasting gastrin levels, or secretin stim test  
🗑
90% of gastrinomas in ZE are found in the   gastrinoma triangle  
🗑
Mets are seen in _______ % of patients at diagnosis in ZE   30-50%  
🗑
Tx of ZE   High dose PPI, Surgical resection if not metastatic, somatostatin, chemo  
🗑
Most discriminating symptom of PUD   presence of pain that awakens the patients from sleep between 2-3 am  
🗑
____ is worse with meals, while ______is better with meals   GU, DU  
🗑
_________allows characterization of the lesion and biopsy which is important since about 4% of GU are cancerous   EGD (allows you to biopsy, and assess risk of rebleeding if near a vessel)  
🗑
Common site for ulcers   antrum of the stomach. (right near where the stomach leads into the duodenum)  
🗑
Most common complication in PUD   Hemorrhage  
🗑
Complications of PUD   Hemorrhage, Perforation (penetration of ulcer into adjacent viscous or organ), Gastric outlet obstruction  
🗑
Tx for PUD   Antacids, H2 blockers, PPIs  
🗑
Which cell secretes HCL?   Parietal cell.  
🗑
3 stimuli to the parietal cell to secrete HCL?   histamine, acetylcholine, gastrin. PPIs block out all three mechanisms.  
🗑
Principle inhibitor of HCL production from the parietal cell   Somatostatin  
🗑
How should PPIs be dosed?   15-30 minutes before meals  
🗑
How do PPIs work?   Block parietal cell H+/K+ ATPase pump  
🗑
Advantage of PPI to H2   shorter healing period with PPIs. Heals nearly 100% of ulcers refractory to H2 blockers  
🗑
Tx for PUD that is H. pylori negative   4-6 weeks if asymptomatic  
🗑
tx for PUd that is H. pylori postitive   2 weeks  
🗑
AE's for PPIs   Diarrhea, Nausea, Abdominal Pain, HA. Increased risk of hip fx with long-term use, Increased risk of C. difficile  
🗑
Surgery procedures for PUD   Gastric patch, Gastrectomy with vagotomy. Surgery is rare now b/c of PPIs  
🗑
Who is at high risk for NSAID complications?   previous GI event, older age, concomitant use of anticoagulants, corticosteroids or other NSAIDs, high-dose NSAID therapy, chronic diseases, if H.pylori positive  
🗑
Who can't use misoprostol?   women of childbearing age  
🗑
In patients with high CV risk and moderate GI risk tx with   PPI/misoprostol and Naproxen  
🗑
_______ is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog   Misoprostol  
🗑
Concurrent use of a PPI, abx, or bismuth can cause   false negative results in H. Pylori testing  
🗑
Most common causes of peptic ulcer disease   H. pylori and NSAIDs  
🗑
