Dyspepsia MAHSA KHODADOOSTAN-- GASTROENTROLOGIST
Patient is a 34 y/o lady who comes to your clinic because of epigastric pain since 5m ago She complains of bloating and early satiety too There is no alarm symptom in her history She use no drug Her physical examination is normal
Approach to the patient with dyspepsia It occurs in approximately 25 percent of the population each year, most affected people do not seek medical care
DEFINITION ( Rome III Committee ) • one or more of the following symptoms : • Postprandial fullness (termed postprandial distress syndrome) • Early satiation (meaning inability to finish a normal sized meal or postprandial fullness) • Epigastric pain or burning (termed epigastric pain syndrome) • Heartburn is the point of contraversy
Alarm symptoms Unintended weight loss Persistent vomiting Progressive dysphagia Odynophagia unexplained anemia or iron deficiency Hematemesis Palpable abdominal mass or lymphadenopathy Family history of upper gastrointestinal cancer Previous gastric surgery Jaundice NPV=99%
CLINICAL APPROACH • History • Ulcer-like or acid dyspepsia (eg, burning, epigastric hunger pain with food, antacid, and antisecretory agent relief) • Dysmotility-like dyspepsia (with predominant nausea, bloating, and anorexia) • Unspecified dyspepsia • Physical examination :usually normal • Carnett test • A palpable mass
Routine laboratory tests Routine blood counts and blood chemistry S/E
Endoscopy • Advantage: • Gold standard test to exclude gastroduodenal ulcers, reflux esophagitis, and upper gastrointestinal cancers. • Beneficial because up to 40 percent of patients have an organic cause of dyspepsia. • It also provides reassurance to patients
Endoscopy • Disadvantage: • Expensive • Invasive • Not cost-effective in young patients without alarm symptoms • Rarely, endoscopic complications
Empiric treatment with acid suppression • Disadvantage: • Cost advantage is lost with symptom recurrence or lack of response. • High rate of symptom recurrence may promote inappropriate long-term medication use. • May delay diagnostic testing, may mask the symptoms of malignant ulcers. • Likely to provide the least patient reassurance. • Rarely, serious side effects (gynecomastia, hematologic disorders).
Empiric treatment with acid suppression • Advantage: • Least expensive strategy. • Rapid symptom relief, • High response rate, • May reduce the number of endoscopies.
