- transition gastritis in neoplastic disease - constant irritation of gastric hydrochloric acid can cause uncontrolled growth of its tumor and appearance.
Diagnostics
Used for the diagnosis of such laboratory and instrumental methods of research:
- pH-metry - determining acidity directly into the stomach cavity;
- gastric intubation with sampling of gastric juice - is introduced into the stomach tube through which a portion of the gastric juice is taken further in the laboratory to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid therein;
- fibroezofagogastroduodenoskopiya (FEGDS) - via a fiber optic tube lighting and camera can directly see the state of its mucosa.
When the first symptoms of gastritis should consult a gastroenterologist doctor for further examination and appropriate treatment.
