Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Aiming at establishing the prevalence of peptic ulcer in chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and an eventual correlation with gastric acid secretion and endoscopic and histopathologic alterations as well as the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the gastroduodenal mucosa, thirty patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (Group I) and ten control subjects (Group II) were prospectively studied. After upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed. Group I was subdivided according to the lack (Subgroup Ia) or a presence (Subgroup Ib) of peptic ulcer. The prevalence of peptic ulcer in these patients was 23.33% clearly higher than that reported in the general population. Baseline and stimulated acid secretion as well as baseline gastrinemia among the subgroups and groups were similar. There was no statistically significant difference in the other parameters evaluated. Due to the increased prevalence of asymptomatic peptic ulcer in patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is suggested as a diagnosis routine and follow-up of this group of patients. |
