Question
Answer
Abd pain, indigestion, loss of appetite, N&V, and melena can be symptoms of:   Gastritis  
🗑
Causes of acute hemolytic gastritis (6)   Stress lesions, drugs, trauma (foreign body, NG tube, radiation); embolism/vasculitis; reflux injury; H Pylori  
🗑
Causes of non-erosive chronic gastritis   chronic superficial H Pylori or chemical gastritis; metaplastic atrophic: autoimmune (AD, F>M 3:1, fundus/body) or environmental (H Pylori & diet)  
🗑
Forms of gastritis (4)   Infectious (CMV, HIV, herpes, fungal, TB, syphilis); sarcoid; eosinophilic; Crohns  
🗑
H Pylori diagnostic tests (5)   Serology. Bx w/histology. Bx w/urease test. Urea breath test. Stool antigen  
🗑
H Pylori & ca   causal: gastric adenoCa; assoc w/ MALT  
🗑
ZE testing   fasting gastrin level (>1000 is dx); secretin stim test (normal pt: no fx on gastrin; ZE pt: dramatic increase)  
🗑
ZE tx   HD PPI; resect if no mets (30-50%); mets: tx sx  
🗑
ZE prognosis   no mets: 15-yr 83%; mets: 10-yr 30%; fasting gastrin level prognostic  
🗑
PUD sx   Burning pain localized to the epigastrum, non-radiating; gastric ulcer: worse with meals; duod ulcer: better with meals, more often pain at night (wakes pt 2-3 AM)(DU>GU)  
🗑
PUD dx   EGD & bx (4% PUD become malig); HP test  
🗑
PUD complications   hemorrhage (Most Common); perf; gastric outlet obstruction  
🗑
PUD tx   antacids, H2 blockers, PPI  
🗑
Acid secretion   3 stimuli of HCl prod in parietal cell: histamine, Ach, gastrin (synergistic); somatostatin is inhibitor  
🗑
PPI AE   Diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, HA; poss C diff; hip fx risk if used LT  
🗑
PUD: surg   rare; gastric patch or gastrectomy w/vagotomy  
🗑
High risk for NSAID complications   Previous GI event; Older Age; Concomitant use of anticoagulants, corticosteroids or other NSAIDs; HD NSAID tx  
🗑
NSAID complication: prevention (2)   COX-2 tx; Mucosal Protection (Misoprostol; PPI; High-dose H2 blocker)  
🗑
What is misoprostol and what is its use in tx of ulcers?   Synthetic PGE1 analog; prevent NSAID-induced gastric ulcers; sig reduction (GU > DU); AE abd discomfort & diarrhea; CI in women of childbearing age  
🗑
Gastric cancer: early sxs   Asymptomatic early (later: indigestion, nausea, early satiety, anorexia, wt loss)  
🗑
Gastric ca etiology (5)   Diet (pickled, salted foods, smoked meats); H pylori; atrophic gastritis; Polyps (rare); Radiation  
🗑
Gastric ca: histology   95% adenocarcinoma; other: lymphoma, SSC  
🗑
Gastric ca: imaging (4)   EGD; EUS; Barium Swallow (Upper GI); CT/MRI  
🗑
Gastric ca: Tx (3)   Surgical resection (best chance for cure); Neoadjuvant chemo & XRT; Adjuvant chemo  
🗑
PUD common anatomy:   duodenal 5x more common than gastric; typically 5 mm diameter & extend through muscularis mucosae  
🗑
PUD etiologies:   H pylori, NSAIDs, hypersecretory peptic states  
🗑
Benign gastrin-secreting tumor usually in pancreas resulting in uninhibited secretion of gastrin & acid production =   Zollinger-Ellison  
🗑
What percent of pts with H pylori will need re-tx after initial eradication tx?   20%  
🗑
H Pylori eradication tx: quadruple tx   PPI + bismuth + metronidazole + tetracycline  
🗑
Post-tx, confirm eradication of H pylori with:   stool antigen  
🗑
H2 blocker AEs   HA, nausea, abd pain, low platelets  
🗑
rapid urease test sensitivity & specificity:   sensitivity 90%; specificity 98%  
🗑
If rapid urease test is negative, do:   Histo stain  
🗑
H pylori test that stays positive   Serology  
🗑
H pylori test used as test of cure   Fecal Ag  
🗑
Meds that can cause false-negative H pylori tests   PPI (avoid x14 days prior to breath test), Abx, or bismuth gives false neg (except in serology or bx w/histo)  
🗑
Common causes of gastritis   NSAIDs, EtOH, stress, portal HTN  
🗑
Tx for PUD/H pylori eradication   Triple therapy: (PPI or H2 blocker) + clarithromycin + (amoxicillin +/- metronidazole) x 7-14 days  
🗑
Multiple or constant GI ulcer pain despite medications may be due to:   Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome  
🗑
Burning, non-radiating epigastric pain; may be sx of:   Peptic ulcer disease  
🗑
H pylori infection (in body/fundus) resulting in acid hyposecretion can lead to:   atrophic gastritis => intestinal metaplasia => gastric cancer  
🗑
H pylori infection (in antrum) resulting in acid hypersecretion can lead to:   duodenal gastric metaplasia => inflammation => ulceration  
🗑
Tissue injury associated with H pylori is due to production of lipopolysaccharides, leukocyte-activating factors, and (2):   CagA and VacA proteins  
🗑
gastric ulcer: effect of eating on symptoms with meals   Pain is worse  
🗑
Duodenal ulcer: effect of eating   Pain is better. More often pain at night (wakes pt 2-3 AM)(DU>GU)  
🗑
Late complications in gastric cancer (5)   Pleural effusion; gastric outlet/GE obstruction, SBO, bleed; palpable stomach; hepatomegaly; Virchow & Sister Mary Joseph nodes  
🗑
In autoimmune atrophic gastritis, loss of parietal cells results in (3):
