Alkaline reflux gastritis associated with abnormalities of the gastrojejunostomy

Alkaline reflux gastritis is presently accepted as being part of the postgastrectomy syndrome complex. Our experience with this entity has revealed a frequent association of alkaline reflux gastritis with functional or organic abnormalities of the gastric remnant and/or newly formed gastrojejunostomy. The role alkaline reflux gastritis plays as a separate entity in the symptomatic patient remains to be clinically determined.
