NON-ULCER DYSPEPSIA• Most common cause
• Younger age group more than later life
• Causes ?
• GI motility ?
• Gastric secretion normal
• Presence of H-Pylori
• Incidence decrease with advancing age

Treatment for functional dyspepsia
Initial treatment :
• Diet , beverages, smoking
• Antisecretory drug (H2RAs, PPI)
• or
• Prokinetic drug (domperidone) if antisecretory treatment fails
• Switch treatment if first drug type fails
![Page 8: Dyspepsia](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/568131dc550346895d9843fa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Treatment for functional dyspepsia(cont)
Resistant cases (failed initial treatment) :• H pylori eradication • Sucralfate or bismuth • Antispasmodic agent (such as mebeverine) • Antidepressant (such as SSRI or tricyclic drug) • Behavioural therapy or psychotherapy • No treatment is proved to be fully beneficial in
these patients

GERDGERD• Very common• Heartburn , Sharp stabbing sub-
sternal pain(probability :89%)
• Regurgitation (probability :95%) • At night or after heavy meal• Chronic cough, asthma like
wheezing• MI ??

* proton pump inhibitor (2months)• Prokinetics • Surgery : Laproscopic fundoplication or open ?

PUDPUD• Less than before• P/H ulcer, recurrence more likely • Risk factors include:
- H-pylori- Family Hx- NSAID- Cigarette smoking- Chronic renal failure- Blood group “O”

DIAGNOSTIC DIFFICULTIES
* Not text book presentation* Early presentation* History: 1. ALARM symptoms ??
2. Specific symptoms 3. NUD
* MI ??* NSAID* Smoking

Alarm symptoms
• Anorexia • Loss of weight (progressive & unintentional)• Anaemia due to iron deficiency • Recent onset of persistent symptoms :vomiting• Melaena, haematemesis • Dysphagia (progressive)• Epigastric mass or• Suspicious barium meal.

Gen.Management 1.Management of symptoms in primary care is
appropriate for most patients rather than routinely seeking a pathological diagnosis. 2.Alarm signals and signs are the major
determinant of the need for endoscopy, not age on its own.
3.Long term care should emphasize patient empowerment with ‘on demand’ use of the lowest
effective dose PPI.
![Page 17: Dyspepsia](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/568131dc550346895d9843fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Gen.Management• Simple lifestyle advice: healthy eating weight reduction smoking cessation• Offer empirical antacid,H2A or PPI therapy for one month to
patients with dyspepsia.
![Page 18: Dyspepsia](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/568131dc550346895d9843fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
H-Pylori• Gram –ve flagellated spiral• Casually related to:
- GU- DU- Gastritis- Gastric B – cell
lymphoma- Gastric adenoma
• Prevalence - high• More in developing countries• Roughly related to age• Saudi local study 67-89%

H-Pylori testing
• Serology• Urea Breath test• Fecal antigen test • Endoscopy• Stript test

ENDOSCOPYENDOSCOPY
Considered if :1. ALARM signals and signs are the major determinant of
the need for endoscopy, not age on its own.
2. No response to medication 7-10 days.3. Symptoms persist after 6-8 wks4. Signs of systemic illness5. Recurrence after treatment6. Long standing G0RD
![Page 23: Dyspepsia](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/568131dc550346895d9843fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Age Consideration ??
In patients aged 55 years and older with unexplained and
persistent recent onset dyspepsia alone, an urgent
referral for endoscopy should be made.
![Page 24: Dyspepsia](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/568131dc550346895d9843fa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

ENDOSCOPYENDOSCOPY
Patients undergoing endoscopy should be
free from medication with either a PPI or an H2 receptor antagonist for a minimum of two weeks.
![Page 27: Dyspepsia](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/568131dc550346895d9843fa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reasons for referral
• cancer suspected or proven;
• diagnostic uncertainty;
• treatments not available
• failure of treatment, symptoms persisting;
• patients' wishes

Take home message Cont…
A. Alarm features – absent: Two approaches are acceptable: 1 .Test for H. pylori infection
– 2 .Empiric Therapy – A 4-week course a histamine-2 receptor
– antagonist or PPI**Failure to respond to treatment justifies
further investigation and/or referral
