Abstract:Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the gastric histopathology and serum gastrin‐17 and pepsinogens profiles in patients with duodenal ulcer before and after Helicobacter pylori eradication in a population with a very high prevalence of H. pylori. At the same time we assessed the role of H. pylori density on these variables. Methods: Eighty Caucasian patients with H. pylori–associated duodenal ulcer before treatment and 1 year after randomized eradication were studied. Among patients with unsuccessful eradication two groups were distinguished according to the data obtained after treatment: the group with negative rapid urease test and decreased bacterial density according to morphological score (partial elimination group); the group with positive rapid urease test and high bacterial density (failed eradication group). Results: One year after successful eradication, serum levels of gastrin‐17, pepsinogen I and pepsinogen II decreased. Similar changes of serum pepsinogen I and pepsinogen II levels were observed in patients with partial elimination of H. pylori infection. In the group with successful eradication, inflammation, activity, atrophy and number of lymphoid follicles in the antral mucosa fell. In the group with partial elimination, antral mucosa activity and H. pylori score reduced. Other morphological changes were statistically non‐significant. Conclusion: Patients with duodenal ulcer after successful eradication have improvement of morphological and functional characteristics of gastric mucosa.
