gastritis/albumin

Gastrointestinal protein loss was measured using Tc-99m labeled human serum albumin in a patient with giant hypertrophic gastritis. Gastric secretion was aspirated via a nasogastric tube and measured for radioactivity after intravenous injection of Tc-99m albumin. Assessment of radioactivity of the

Ten cases of Ménétrier's disease (;giant hypertrophic gastritis') have been studied with radioiodine-labelled albumin (all 10 cases), IgG (eight cases), transferrin (two cases), and IgM (six cases). Abnormal gastric loss of plasma protein was present in all cases as demonstrated by (59)Fe-iron

BACKGROUND Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in children is a rare life-threatening syndrome, characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia with renal dysfunction, neurologic symptoms, and fever. TTP is usually caused by deficient activity of von Willebrand factor

POL (peroxidation of lipids) processes in GMM (gastric mucous membrane) and blood have been studied in 107 CG (chronic gastritis) patients in relation to gastritis activity and GMM contamination with H. Pylori. The author studied also treatment dynamics, with vitamin E being additionally prescribed.

Gastric albumin clearance studies were carried out in 26 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and in 10 control subjects. The mean clearance was significantly higher in patients than in control subjects. An increased protein gastric loss in cirrhotic patients was observed only in presence of gastritis.

Six patients with hypertrophy of the gastric mucosa (Menetrier's disease) have been studied. An incorrect diagnosis was initially made in four patients. The correct diagnosis was suggested by the appearances either of barium meal radiographs of the stomach or at gastroscopy. Estimates of both basal

BACKGROUND Venous thrombosis has not previously been reported as a complication of lymphocytic gastritis. METHODS A 47-year-old patient was admitted for anasarca related to varioliform gastritis. The densitometric examination showed two partial thromboses, at the confluence of the splenic and

Background: There have been few studies in the English literature regarding verrucous gastritis (VG). The present study investigated the clinical and endoscopic features of verrucous antral gastritis, especially focusing on

A new case of benign hypertrophic gastritis associated with cytomegalovirus infection in a 7 year-old boy is reported. The main symptoms were complete digestive intolerance and protein loss, resulting in major hypoalbuminemia and anasarca. The alpha-1-antitrypsin clearance was very increased.

Therapy of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis using intragastric SMC-electrophoresis of cobamamide resulted in a marked clinical effect. Altogether 82 patients were investigated. Protein metabolism using I131-albumin and reparative regeneration (histochemical and electron microscopy methods)

BACKGROUND Lymphocytic gastritis is a rare condition found in approximately 1% of dyspeptic patients. An association with Helicobacter pylori infection has been described. Hypertrophic lymphocytic gastritis is a rare cause of gastrointestinal protein loss. Here, we describe a patient with

A patient with chronic erosive gastritis and protein-losing gastropathy is reported. Presentation was with weight loss and abdominal discomfort. There were endoscopic and radiological features of erosive gastritis. Radioactive chromium studies confirmed that the low serum albumin was associated with
