Epidemiological aspects of NSAID gastropathy
1Servizio di Gastroenterologia ed Endoscopia Digestiva, Istituto Scientifico, Ospedale S. Raffaele, Milano, Italy.
Abstract:
NSAIDs are among the most frequently prescribed drugs worldwide. Unfortunately acute and especially chronic NSAID intake is accompanied by untoward side effects of the digestive system, particularly the gastroduodenal tract. Erosions and ulcers are more common in the stomach, but also the duodenal mucosa can be involved. Elderly patients are the subjects most at risk of developing gastric lesions, which are often asymptomatic. Complications such as bleeding and perforation may suddenly occur, sometimes with a fatal outcome. Epidemiological data and risk factors are reviewed and commented in detail.

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.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
