[Clinico-pathogenetic aspects of uremic (nephrogenic) gastropathy]

The authors analyzed 380 autopsies for chronic glomerulo- and pyelonephritis and studied the clinical and functional features of gastric pathology in 240 patients with the same disease entities. The hypotheses are suggested about a 3-stage successive formation of uremic gastropathy. The importance of hypergastrinemia as one of the pathogenetic factors, as a vicarious organ as regards nitrogenous products at early stages of chronic renal insufficiency is discussed.
