Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
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...

Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Viruses with RNA Genomes

Viruses with RNA Genomes

RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...

Hepatology
Immunology
Internal Medicine

Background:

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare liver disease with variable global incidence.
AIH diagnosis typically relies on auto-antibody detection.
A subset of AIH patients (around 10%) lack these serological markers, termed seronegative AIH (snAIH).

Purpose of the Study:

To review current literature on seronegative autoimmune hepatitis (snAIH).
To provide an update on snAIH pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
To increase awareness and emphasize timely management of snAIH.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive literature review of existing studies on snAIH.
Analysis of diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies for snAIH.
Synthesis of current understanding of snAIH from available research.

Main Results:

Seronegative AIH (snAIH) poses diagnostic challenges due to the absence of typical auto-antibodies.
Delayed or incorrect diagnosis of snAIH can lead to severe liver damage, including cirrhosis.
Current literature lacks a standardized diagnostic algorithm for snAIH.

Conclusions:

Accurate and timely diagnosis of snAIH is crucial for effective treatment.
Further research is needed to establish clear diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines for snAIH.
Increased clinical awareness of snAIH is essential for improving patient management and prognosis.
