Study Notes
Classification of Gastritis
- Acute Gastritis: an inflammation of the gastric mucosa or submucosa after exposure to local irritants, with rapid onset of symptoms.
- Chronic Gastritis: a prolonged inflammation of the stomach mucosa.
Acute Gastritis
- Caused by food or fluid contaminated with disease-causing organisms.
- Complications: Chronic Gastritis, Gastric Ulcer, and Anemia secondary to Gastric hemorrhage.
Assessment and Diagnostic Findings
- Clinical manifestations: symptoms of acute gastritis.
- Upper GI x-ray series: a diagnostic tool used to visualize the stomach and small intestine.
- Endoscopy: a procedure used to visualize the inside of the stomach and small intestine.
- Histological study: a microscopic examination of tissue samples.
- Diagnostic measures for detecting H.pylori infection: a bacterial infection that can cause gastritis.
- Gastric analysis: a test used to measure the level of hydrochloric acid (HCL) in the stomach, with Type B associated with hyperchrohydria and Type A associated with absence or low-level HCL.
Management of Acute Gastritis
- Anti-acid and Histamine antagonists: medications used to block gastric secretion.
- Instruct the patient to refrain from alcohol and food until symptoms subside.
- Avoidance of irritants: eliminating substances that can irritate the stomach.
- Psychological support: providing emotional support to reduce stress.
Management of Chronic Gastritis
- Non-Surgical management: treating chronic gastritis without surgery.
- Identification and elimination of causative factors: identifying and removing factors that cause or contribute to chronic gastritis.
- Drug therapy: using medications to treat chronic gastritis.
- Anti-acids: used as buffering agents, e.g. Aluminum Hydroxide.
- H2 receptor antagonists: medications used to reduce acid production, e.g. Ranitidine, Cimetidine, Famotidine.
- Surfactant: a mucosal barrier fortifier used to protect the stomach lining.
- Vitamin B12: a nutrient used to treat anemia secondary to gastric hemorrhage.
