Duodenogastric reflux and gastric damage from non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs
Abstract:
The authors describe cases urgently admitted for iatrogenic gastric lesions due to non-steroid antiinflammatory treatment during the past year. Nine patients were affected by peptic ulcer (bleeding in five cases), while in the remaining 11 an erosive acute gastritis could be observed. Among them, ten patients had been taking acetylsalicylic acid, one indomethacin and the others ketoprofen, indoprofen or similar drugs. In 11 patients, five presenting gastric ulcer and six affected by haemorrhagic gastric damage, an evident duodenogastric reflux was demonstrated. Fifteen patients were treated pharmacologically and complete healing of the lesions was obtained, while in five patients surgical treatment was necessary. The authors conclude by pointing out the high incidence (over 50%) and the pathogenetic role of duodenogastric reflux in gastric lesions appearing in patients treated with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

Gastritis-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...
Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
