  • Treatment of radiation-induced Hemorrhagic Gastritis with prednisolone: a case report.
    World journal of gastroenterology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Lan Zhang, Xiaoying Xie, Yan Wang, Yanhong Wang, Yi Chen, Zhenggang Ren
    Abstract:

    Radiation-induced Gastritis is an infrequent cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is a serious complication arising from radiation therapy, and the standard treatment method has not been established. The initial injury is characteristically acute inflammation of gastric mucosa. We presented a 46-year-old male patient with Hemorrhagic Gastritis induced by external radiotherapy for metastatic retroperitoneal lymph node of hepatocellular carcinoma. The endoscopic examination showed diffuse edematous hyperemicmucosa with telangiectasias in the whole muscosa of the stomach and duodenal bulb. Multiple Hemorrhagic patches with active oozing were found over the antrum. Anti-secretary therapy was initiated for hemostasis, but melena still occurred off and on. Finally, he was successfully treated by prednisolone therapy. We therefore strongly argue in favor of perdnisolone therapy to effectively treat patients with radiation-induced Hemorrhagic Gastritis.

  • Conservative treatment of stress ulcer bleeding: a new approach.
    Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology. Supplement, 1992
    Co-Authors: M. Tryba, B. May
    Abstract:

    Stress ulcer prophylaxis diminishes but does not eliminate the risk of severe bleeding from this complication. In 70-80% of the cases the source of bleeding is Hemorrhagic Gastritis. No controlled studies exist which have in particular investigated conservative therapy in patients with stress-induced hemorrhage. Even effective measures to suppress gastric acid secretion or to reduce splanchnic blood flow are ineffective in 10-40% of intensive care unit patients with stress-induced bleeding. In these cases total gastrectomy has so far often been the only therapeutic approach. We report our experience with a new approach in treating severe stress-induced Hemorrhagic Gastritis after ineffective primary treatment with H2-receptor antagonists, pirenzepine and somatostatin. Continuous gastric lavage with 5-101 ice-cold Ringer's solution was used until complete cessation of bleeding, as evident from clear lavage. Repeated administration of 12 g sucralfate (60 ml) at 2-h intervals for 24 h through a gastric tube ...

  • A case report of endoscopic therapy for radiation-induced Hemorrhagic Gastritis in patient with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma
    Medicine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ma Liang, Zhang Liwen, Dai Juan, Zhuang Yun, Ding Yanbo, Chen Jianping
    Abstract:

    Rationale Radiation-induced Hemorrhagic Gastritis is an infrequent cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and difficult to manage. The current standard treatment has not been well established. Patient concerns We described a 32-year-old male patient with Hemorrhagic Gastritis induced by external radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence. Diagnoses The endoscopic examination showed a diffuse area of bleeding in the gastric antrum. Interventions After failure of conventional hemostasis treatment, we successfully stopped the hemorrhage with repeated endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) combined with low-dose polyglycerol sclerotherapy. Outcomes The patient was followed up for 6 months to date without recurrence. Lessons Based on this case, we think that endoscopic APC combined with low-dose polidocanol sclerotherapy can be tried as a treatment for potentially life-threatening radiation-induced Hemorrhagic Gastritis.
