Gastritis: causes and factors

Among the direct causes and factors in the development of gastritis following:

• The bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Noteworthy, that for a long time about this bacterium, scientists did not know. Only in 2005 year for the opening of this infectious agent scientists awarded Nobel Prize. Before that causes gastritis and acidity felt nervous stress. It is now known, that the major cause of gastritis and ulcers stomach and duodenal ulcers (more 85% cases) is the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori infection. This Microbe survives in an aggressive acidic stomach Wednesday, there, where other bacteria do not survive. Truth, Currently, scientists puzzled by another question-why some people with Helicobacter pylori causes significant damage to the, There is no other?
• Eating disorders. Known, that the unbalanced diet can cause inflammation of the stomach mucosa. In particular, malnutrition and obesity is a major factor in the development of inflammatory diseases of the stomach. To avoid these phenomena should diversify plant food, rich in vitamins and fiber. You should minimize your intake of oily, spicy and marinated food.

• Some medications. Frequent intake of some medicines, to prevent blood clotting, and anti-inflammatory drugs could lead to the defeat of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastritis often develops against the background of the prolonged admission of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids.
• Worms. Some researchers have noted the relationship with some gastritis glistnymi invazijami.

The main internal reasons, resulting in inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (including gastritis) relate:

• Congenital predisposition to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Duodenal reflux-throwing away the bile from the duodenum into the stomach.
• Autoimmune processes when immune cells begin to attack the body's own cells.
• Hormonal background.

Types of disease: classification of gastritis

Depending on the cause of chronic gastritis is divided into forms:

• Autoimmune (type A) — fundal'nyj gastritis; inflammation caused by antiphospholipid antibodies. Usually, accompanied by the development of pernicious anemia;
• Bacterial (type B) — antral'nyj gastritis, associated with obsemeneniem mucous membrane stomach bacteria Helicobacter pylori;
• Chemical (Type C) -develops due to cast lizolecitina in the bile and stomach with reflux or duodenogastral'nom as a result of the admission of certain classes of drugs.

There are also mixed forms — AB, AC and additional types of chronic gastritis (alcoholic gastritis, medicinal gastritis etc.).

Depending on the localization of pathological process distinguish:

• gastritis antrum of stomach Division;
• gastritis gastric body;
• gastritis fundal'nogo Division stomach;
• pangastrit.

When reduced secretion appoint enzyme preparations (mezim), antispasmodics. If the patient identified Helicobacter pylori, It is necessary to carry out its eradication (the destruction of). To this end, the prescribed therapy of two antibiotics and Proton pump inhibitor.

Complications of gastritis
