Abstract:
Bile reflux gastritis is caused by the backward flow of duodenal fluid into the stomach. A retrospective cohort study was performed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of bile reflux gastritis postcholecystectomy, and to evaluate the endoscopic and histopathologic changes in gastric mucosa. Methods Patients with refractory upper abdominal pain right below the ribs with symptoms of bloating, burping, nausea, vomiting, and bile regurgitation during the period from January 2018 to December 2020, submitted to Zagazig University Hospitals were enrolled in this study. The studied 64 patients were divided into two groups; the control group (CG): 30 subjects who had never undergone any biliary interventions, and the post-cholecystectomy group (PCG): 34 patients who had undergone cholecystectomy. Results The prevalence of bile reflux gastritis was (16.7%) and (61.8%) in CG and PCG, respectively. Diabetes, obesity, elevated gastric bilirubin, and elevated stomach pH were all risk factors for bile reflux gastritis in both groups ( r = .28,.48,.78,.57 respectively) . Age, sex, epigastric pain, heartburn, vomiting, and the existence of bile reflux gastritis, on the other hand, had no correlation. Discussion After a cholecystectomy, bile reflux gastritis is prevalent, especially among obese and diabetic patients.
