Inflammatory processes in the pancreas often lead to complications from other organs of the gastrointestinal tract. One of them is gastritis, accompanied by a typical symptomatology and an increased level of acidity of gastric juice.
With combined pancreatic and gastric lesions, patients have increased acidity in pancreatitis, as well as other symptoms that are characteristic of two diseases at once. In such clinical cases, patients can observe the following manifestations of increased pancreatitis:
- heartburn after eating, which is a consequence of the irritating effect of acid on the gastric mucosa;
- unpleasant burp;
- discomfort and pain in the epigastric region;
- unpleasant mouthfeel;
- decreased or no appetite;
- nausea and vomiting;
- malfunctioning of the intestine, bloating, rumbling.
All these symptoms of increased acidity are seriously aggravated by inflammatory processes in the pancreas, leading to severe pain and dyspeptic syndromes. In some cases, the gastritis clinic can come to the fore, and then it is very important to conduct a complete and timely examination in order to prevent the progression of asymptomatic forms of pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis with high acidity
If, as a result of diagnostic tests, a patient exhibits pancreatitis with high acidity, this is a serious reason to think about the concomitant gastritis. In such situations, doctors have to differentiate various pathological conditions and carry out a number of additional examinations.
Along with the X-ray study, fibrogastroscopy with biopsy is performed, which are the most informative methods for detecting stomach diseases. In addition, patients are shown the study of gastric juice with the determination of the level of acidity and a detailed biochemical blood test.
Complaints of a patient with pancreatitis, objective examination data, laboratory and instrumental examinations, allow us to correctly diagnose and prescribe adequate treatment. Hyper secretion of gastric contents, as well as chronic pancreatitis, requires an integrated approach to therapy. The obligatory moment is observance of a special diet, and also correctly picked up medicinal preparations.
