Antral gastritis - Endoscopy result

2023-04-25 05:40:59
Hi, I have done my endoscopy and the result is attached. Here are the impressions - 1- les at 38 cm from incisors. Lax les 2- Mild antral hyperaemia seen. 3- Decrased number and height of duodenal folds with scalloping .Biopsy taken for HPE. 4- Antral gastritis I am little worried as the doctor asked me for biopsy and said to wait for its results. Also, he suggested IgA anti ttg blood test. I was taking nexpro l medicine before and he asked to wait until biopsy result is released. Please tell what does that mean.

Lax LES suggests that your valve at lower end of food pipe is loose allowing content of stomach to come up. Usually upright posture after meals for 2 hours helps to mitigate this problem. Duodenal scalloping is seen in either celiac disease also called as wheat sensitivity for which IgAtTG test is advised. It can also be seen in infections of small intestine.
Next Steps
collect biopsy report and also do ttg test
