Current Treatment of Dyspepsia

Dr Wita Kartika Nurani Sp.PD


Outline topics
Common causes of dyspepsia
First approach
Alarm signs
Referral
Helicobacter pylori
Functional Dyspepsia
Common Causes of Dyspepsia

Reflux oesophagitis 12%
Duodenal ulcer 10%
Gastric ulcer 6%
Gastric carcinoma 1%
Oesophageal carcinoma 0.5%


Non-erosive GORD
Functional (non-ulcer) dyspepsia
First Approach
1. Consider : possible causes outside upper GI tract
-Heart, lung, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, bowel


2. Consider drugs and stop if possible
- Aspirin / NSAIDs, calcium antagonists, nitrates,
theophyllines, etidronate, steroids
?
Alarm Symptoms/ Signs*
GI bleeding (same day referral)
Persistent vomiting
Weight loss (progressive unintentional)
Dysphagia
Epigastric mass
Anaemia due to possible GI blood loss
Thus all patients with new-onset dyspepsia should have
abdominal examination and FBC

Refer if dyspepsia in 55+* year old
With Alarm symptoms/signs

Without alarm symptom if :
Unexplained : no cause known
persistent : 4-6 weeks
recent-onset : new-not a recurrent episode


Helicobacter pylori
Gram negative bacteria
S-shaped, ~ 0.5 x 3 m
the genom of Hp encode
1500 proteins
Some of the proteins are
determinant of Hp
mediated pathogenesis &
colonization, such as :
Hop protein
Vac A
Cag-PAI

introduction
Medical community
couldnt believe a bacteria
could survive the acidity
Marshall drank a petri dish
of Hp, and 10 days later had
endoscopy where found
signs of gastritis and H
pylori.
estimated: 50% of the world
is affected
Developing nations:
prevalence of adults peaks
at more than 80% after age
20

2005: Marshall and Warren awarded
Nobel Prize in Medicine
9
Pathogenesis Hp
10
Diagnosing Hp :
-invasive
-non invasive

Invasive test : endoscopy :
Culture
Histology
Urease test

The preferred method of diagnosing Hp-by non invasive
method-in pre and post treatment setting are :
UBT
stool antigen test

One week triple therapy

PPI (full dose) e.g. Omeprazole 2x20mg
Clarithromycin 2x500mg
Amoxycillin 2x 1000 mg





FUNCTIONAL DYSPEPSIA
Treatment
Major challenge
Most agent : limitted/no evidence of efficacy
Testing for/eradicating Hp is a first line strategy irrespective of the
symptom pattern
MODALITIES OF TREATMENT
1.Epigastric pain
antisecretory agent are recommended
Antacids, bismuth, sucralfat --- no better than placebo
2.Postprandial fullness (early satiety)
prokinetics
Other treatment
-psychological tx : promising (confer benefits on both pain&meal related symptoms)
(Curr Treat opt Gastroenterol, 2007)
