Abstract
Objective To study the bile reflux in patients with different kind of chronic gastritis. Methods The changes of intragastric bile reflux during 24 h were assessed by using ambulatory bilirubin monitoring techniques in 45 patients(including 17 patients with chronic superficial gastritis, 21 with chronic erosive gastritis and 7 with chronic atrophic gastritis). Results The total time of intragastric bile reflux(%) was significantly greater in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis(16.2±18.0) and chronic erosive gastritis(14.2±12.1) than that in patients with chronic superficial gastritis(5.3±14.1, P0.01). Conclusion Intragastric bile reflux is correlated with chronic erosive gastritis and atrophic gastritis.
