Pathophysiology of Gastritis Predisposing Factors: Dietary Indiscretion (the person eats food that is contaminated the disease causing bacteria) Excessive alcohol Intake Ingestion of strong Acid or alkali (more severe form; causes mucosa to become gangrenous) Precipitating Factors: Overuse of aspirin and other non- steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs. Bile reflux Radiation Therapy Gastric mucous membrane becomes edematous and hyperemic (congested with blood and fluid) Gastric mucous membrane undergoes superficial obstruction Scanty amount of gastric juices is secreted with very little acid but much mucus. Superficial Ulceration Signs and Symptoms Anorexia Abdominal discomfort Headache hiccuping Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting If treated: Patient recovers within 24 hrs., although the appetite maybe diminished for an additional of 2-3 days.
