Clinical characteristics of bile reflux gastritis
Authors:J Cai  B Q Jia
Abstract:Thirty patients with bile reflux gastritis, proven by gastroscopy and Milk 99mTc-EHIDA Test, were studied and their clinical features were compared with those of patients with non-bile reflux gastritis. The symptoms were similar in both groups of patients, whereas histologically in bile reflux gastritis there were more hyperemia of mucosa, more obvious edema in lamina propria and more polymorphonuclear infiltration. Furthermore, in bile reflux gastritis the histological changes were more severe in the antrum and decreased in severity toward the cardia. Acid secretion was significantly lower in patients with bile reflux gastritis than in patients with non-bile reflux gastritis while the serum gastrin level was significantly higher in the former than in the latter group. The authors suggest that there may be a vicious cycle among duodenogastric reflux, low level of gastric acidity and high level of serum gastrin. When duodenogastric reflux occurs, not only the bile salts damage the gastric mucosa and subsequently cause the back diffusion of hydrogen ion but also the alkaline duodenal juice neutralizes the gastric acid, resulting in decrease of gastric acidity. The bile salts and low acidity can stimulate the release of serum gastrin which antagonizes the effects of cholecystokinin and secretin on pyloric tone and aggravates the duodenogastric reflux.
