Aims: This study sought to evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and traditional and nontraditional lipid parameters, including atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient and remnant cholesterol. Methods: After the application of exclusion criteria, 309 patients were allocated according to the absence (n = 52) or presence (n = 257) of H. pylori infection. Results: Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels were nonsignificantly higher, and HDL-C levels were nonsignificantly lower, in the H. pylori-infected patient group. Triglyceride-to-HDL-C ratio, LDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio, atherogenic index of plasma, cardiogenic risk ratio, atherogenic coefficient and remnant cholesterol were comparable among groups. Conclusion: There was no significant association between H. pylori infection and traditional and nontraditional novel lipid parameters and indices.

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...

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...
