Abstract:
Organic basis of gastrointestinal symptoms is in the scope of many specialists. In this article lymphocytic gastritis, relatively newly described and not widely-known entity is presented. The lesion is characterized by presence of numerous mature lymphocytes in the surface and foveolar epithelium, as well as lymphocytic infiltration of the lamina propria. According to the definition at least 25 lymphocytes per 100 gastric epithelial cells is now required for the diagnosis. Literature found in wide range of databases was searched for morphological features of lymphocytic gastritis and its relationship with others coexisting or predisposing conditions or lesions. A strong positive correlation between celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori infection, and occurrence and severity of lymphocytic gastritis was revealed. A relationship was also found between lymphocytic gastritis and gastric lymphomas and other conditions.

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds...
