Any correct diagnosis of acute gastritis begins with a primary analysis and collects a complete set for laboratory tests. During the initial inspection, everything is taken into account: diet adherence, consumption of alcohol products( especially high-grade products), casual reception of overdue products.
Spectral study of the bacterial environment of the stomach helps especially when diagnosing. This is done only because the formation of gastritis is, in most cases, the activity of bacteria or infection.
Special attention is paid to the diagnosis of acute erosive gastritis. Attention is necessary only because this form most often appears as a result of the fact that the patient has taken any substances that can lead to poisoning. Therefore, in the process of examining the patient, they learn the contents of his first-aid kit, look for drugs that can be poisoned. Inspection is done not only for diagnostic purposes, but also to understand what treatment is needed. Find out which medication the patient took and what dosage, whether it was concentrated.
During the initial diagnosis, the oral cavity is also examined and the odor content is determined. In some cases, the acute form of gastritis can be caused by the ingestion, and, subsequently, by poisoning, of hydrochloric acid, which in turn changes the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. A similar picture can be seen also when poisoning with other acids and alkalis, however, the signs reflected in the oral cavity will be somewhat different.
Of particular importance in the diagnosis of acute gastritis is the chemical analysis and analysis of the bacterial content in vomit and stool. Their study helps to determine the nature of gastritis damage and to understand the stage of destruction of the mucous membrane and directly the walls of the stomach. Also, the analysis shows the content of blood flow.
Often the use of chest X-ray and digestive system helps in the diagnosis of acute disease. In this case, the patient must take special capsules, the contents of which are shining organs. The investigation of organs by rengen allows to judge about the state of the digestive tract. Further diagnostics can change a lot if there are any violations of its integrity. For example, with any blockages, the use of gastroscopy is not possible.
In some cases, the diagnosis of gastritis may not go according to plan. A frequent medical mistake is the wrong diagnosis. Such an error is allowed in the event that acute gastritis is hidden by some other disease. For example, a typical poisoning has all the similar symptoms. To confuse the doctor may be the presence in the vomit of overdue food.
The most effective methods of diagnosing acute gastritis are laboratory methods in conjunction with gastroscopy. They allow you to unequivocally put the right diagnosis. In this case, the diagnosis of the acute form will be unambiguously expressed in the analysis of the analyzes.
