Dept. of Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore.

We endoscoped 322 of 422 patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing maintenance dialysis treatment to determine the prevalence of erosive prepyloric changes (EPC) in uraemia. EPC grade 1 was found in 79 patients (25%), grade 2 in 16 (5%), and grade 3 in 43 (13%). EPC grades 2 and 3 were commoner among uraemic patients than among non-uraemic patients presenting for gastroduodenoscopy (13 of 198 = 6%; p less than 0.001). Patients with EPC grades 2 and 3 were older, had been receiving dialysis longer, and were more likely to be receiving haemodialysis rather than peritoneal dialysis when compared with patients without EPC. Histologic gastritis of the body and antrum was less common among patients with EPC grades 2 and 3 than among patients without EPC. The prevalence of Campylobacter-like organisms was similar in patients with and without EPC.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
