Hormonal Effects on Nodular GAVE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) and its nodular antral gastropathy (NAG) variant is a unique lesion associated with hypergastrinemic hormonal alterations that may be compounded by concurrent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. The use of octreotide as a somatostatin analogue and its role in the down regulation of variousenteric hormones has been well documented however its use in the management of NAG has not been widely reported. We herein present a case where octreotide induced gastrin down-regulation as well as PPI cessation facilitated NAG resolution.

This treatment is usually well tolerated, but can induce thyrotoxicosis in subjects with blunted response of TSH to TRH stimulation before treatment. Surgery is used for large goiters, compressive goiters or suspicion of cancer and after failure of the hormonal treatment. In all case...

متن کاملVariations in the size of focal nodular hyperplasia on magnetic resonance imaging.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the changes in the size of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) during long-term magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 44 FNHs in 30 patients studied with MRI with at least two MRI studies at least 12 months apart. We measured the largest diameter of the lesion (inmm) in contrast-enhanced axial images and calculated the percentage of var...
