[Vegetative functions characteristics in patients with chronic gastritis]

Basing on examination of 311 patients with chronic gastritis (CG), three clinicopathogenetic variants of the disease course were determined. Variant 1 is characterized by superficial involvement of the gastric mucosa, normal or hyperactive secretory function, normokinetic motor type, dominating parasympathetic vegetative tonicity and reactions of the parasympathetic type, rare segmental disorders, absolute hyperhistaminemia. Variant 2 is characterized by moderate atrophy of the gastric glands, secretory and motor hypofunction, unaffected vegetative status, normohistaminemia. Variant 3 runs with severe total atrophy of the gastric glands with secretory insufficiency and gastric hypokinesia, primarily sympathetic suprasegmental vegetative disorders, marked segmental disorders, absolute hypohistaminemia.
