Q: Should we care?
1. OTC analgesics including NSAID are widely used, frequently taken inappropriately, and users are generally unaware of potential for adverse side effects. 2. Can cause serious side effects including dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, hemorrhage, and even result in death.
El-Zimaity HMT
not always see the triad; suggest it when suspected Triad is only seen in 30 % of chronic NSAID users. Triad is most seen at incisura
(less marked at other regions of the stomach). Incisura
Q1: HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE Chemical gastropathy is common; you will THE TRIAD?

Gastric atrophy
Absence of what is normally there:
Simple absence of glands (reduced thickness, increased fibrosis) Replacement of what is normally there (with intestinal metaplasia or pseudopyloric metaplasia)

PSEUDO-PYLORIC METAPLASIA
PPM starts as early as 9 years old. Atrophy always starts at antral corpus junction and moves proximally and towards the greater curve.
Cardona et al Journal of Clinical Pathology; 2005;58(11):1189-93.
El-Zimaity HMT
1. Look for the Atrophic Front (starts at antral corpus junction) 2. Recognize all forms of atrophy (absence of normal or replacement with intestinal metaplasia and/or pseudopyloric metaplasia)

GASTRITIS PATTERN
PA
El-Zimaity HMT
pernicious anaemia
Big overlap in the literature since most PA studies were done before H. pylori era; some deny its existence!
El-Zimaity HMT
PERNICIOUS ANEMIA
D Parietal cell antibodies Many folds higher
D -
Acid production drops much faster in PA; so, H. pylori and associated inflammation moves proximally much faster.

Pre-treatment

Post treatment
Lymphoid tissue first disappear from marginal zone, followed by mantle zone.

GASTRITIS
1. Acute 2. Chronic 3. Uncommon Forms Lymphocytic Eosinophilic Crohn's disease Sarcoidosis Isolated granulomatous
Lymphocytic Gastritis
Protein loss. Ratio of 25 CD3+ IEL/100 epithelial cells (focal). Usually accompanied by lamina propria plasmacytosis
Celiac Disease, Gastric Lymphoma, Menetriers Disease. H. pylori (low H. pylori count)

Reporting gastritis
1. Where am I? (Site - Antral, Oxyntic, Cardiac, Pangastritis, Focal) 2. Is it a gastritis or a gastropathy? 3. Are there epithelial/vascular changes (e.g. dysplasia or cancer)?
