  • K29.00 Acute gastritis without bleeding

Description

  • Inflammation of stomach lining
  • May be transient or chronic
  • Stomach or upper-abdominal pain
  • Dark stool

Essentials of Diagnosis

  • Heartburn that responds to antacids
  • Positive findings on biopsy or endoscopy and upper GI series
  • Chronic gastritis is an increased number of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the gastric mucosa

General Considerations

  • Diagnosis for more occult problems may take time and require intensive diagnostic testing
  • May cause stomach cancer
  • May indicate more serious problem, such as an autoimmune disease
  • May result in secondary problems indicating need for PT intervention: aerobic capacity and muscle endurance impairment, sarcopenia, weakness, musculoskeletal problems, neuromuscular problems, weight loss

Demographics

  • Can occur in anyone throughout lifespan
  • Approximately one-third of U.S. population is infected with H. pylori
  • Incidence increases with age
  • In U.S., overall age-related incidence is 20% in people younger than 30 years, 50% in people older than 60 years
  • Equally common in males and females

Signs and Symptoms

  • Indigestion
  • Heartburn
  • Hiccups
  • Pain in abdomen or stomach
  • Black stool
  • Blood in stool
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting: blood or coffee ground-type substance
  • Belching
  • Feeling of fullness
  • Halitosis
  • Tachycardia (if GI bleeding)
  • Pallor (if GI bleeding)

Functional Implications

  • Severe symptoms such as immediacy of need to urinate or defecate may cause inability to leave home
  • Inability to afford testing and medications, noncompliance with medication regimen
  • Fatigue
  • Drowsiness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Severe stomach pain with or without eating
  • Heart disease
  • Weight loss from inability to tolerate food; inability to exercise or move well
  • Sarcopenia resulting in weakness, muscle-mass ...
