A modification of the 51Cr-chromium-albumin test allows differentiation between protein-losing gastropathy and protein-losing enteropathy. After i.v. application of 51Cr-chromium-albumin, radioactivity is measured in the gastric fluid (basal after pentagastrin and after atropine, each for 1 h) and

Many investigators have demonstrated alteration of gastric mucins in H. pylori infected individuals. The inflammatory environment induced by H. pylori leading to aberrant glycosylation of MUC1 and demasking of core peptide MUC1 epitope could enhance immune responses to MUC1. IgG and IgM immune

OBJECTIVE To clarify the correlation between portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) and clinical features after surgery for biliary atresia (BA). METHODS Routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopies were done over 3 years in 27 children who underwent surgery for BA. We reviewed the recorded endoscopic

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors of portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) in patients with hepatitis B associated cirrhosis and establish a Logistic regression model of noninvasive prediction. METHODS The clinical data of 234 hospitalized patients with hepatitis B associated cirrhosis from

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the influence of Helicobacter pylori and its virulent factors, cytotoxin associated gene (cag) A and E, on portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) and the levels of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). METHODS The patients with cirrhosis

Seven patients with giant hypertrophic gastropathy participated in a gastric intubation perfusion study to investigate the route and mechanism of protein leakage associated with this disease. All patients had gastric tight junctions wider than those in healthy controls. Acute administration of

OBJECTIVE Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) is described endoscopically as "mosaic-like appearance" of gastric mucosa with or without the red spots. It can only be diagnosed by upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of platelet count

In a 37-year-old patient with Ménétrier's disease, 51Cr-albumin and alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) output was measured simultaneously in gastric juice and feces. While the 51Cr-albumin studies demonstrated a threefold increase in gastrointestinal protein loss, alpha 1-AT was found in normal

UNASSIGNED Ascites is a common complication of chronic liver diseases and is related to the extent of portal hypertension. This study evaluated whether the serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) (the difference between the albumin level of serum and of ascitic fluid) is endowed with clinical

Portal hypertension which usually leads to bleeding from oesophageal varices in children remain a difficult medical problem. The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is currently considered as the best reliable method to diagnose oesophageal varices in portal hypertension. But endoscopic screening is an

Albumin metabolism was followed in 7 patients suffering from benign gastric diseases. The study was performed using human serum albumin-125 I before gastric surgery and after operation. The total albumin pool decreased after the operation by about 15%. The decrease in extravascular albumin pool was

The case of a 60-year-old male patient with hyperplastic hypersecretory gastropathy. The diagnosis was reached by means of the histologic study of a sample obtained by endoscopic macrobiopsy. Examination of the gastric secretions showed stimulate and basal hypersecretion; gastrinemia was normal and
