Bile Reflux Gastritis Test Methods

The examination methods of bile reflux gastritis include gastroscopy, pathological examination, 24h bilirubin monitoring, etc.

1. Gastroscopy

can visually observe the stomach condition. If bile reflux occurs, it will mix with gastric mucus to form a yellow-stained mucus pool, and the gastric mucosa can be covered with bile spots.

2. Pathological examination

When suspicious lesions exist, it can also extract tissue cells from suspicious parts with the aid of gastroscopy for pathological examination, which helps to diagnose atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, atypical hyperplasia, cancer, etc.

3.

Bilirubin is a metabolite produced by the liver. When bile reflux occurs, bilirubin will enter the stomach or esophagus with bile. By detecting the absorption peak of the stomach and esophagus, it helps to diagnose bile reflux.
