Correlation of dyspeptic symptoms and endoscopic findings in diabetic patient
Journal Title: Medical Science and Discovery - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: We aimed to demonstrate the relationship between the endoscopically increased mucosal damage and the frequency of dyspeptic symptoms in patients with diabetes. Material and Methods: The 42 diabetic patients with dyspeptic complain and 40 healthy dyspeptic people were involved in this study and evaluated with video endoscopes. Diabetic patients when compared with the control group according to the endoscopic evaluation and Glasgow Dyspepsia Symptom Scoring System no significant difference had been detected. Results: The symptoms of the diabetic group and the control group were familiar and there was no significant difference between the frequencies of the symptoms in both groups. In dyspeptic diabetic patients a weak correlation between BMI and endoscopically detected hiatal hernia was reported. However there was no relation between BMI and the other gastrointestinal symptoms. Also there was no difference between the patients with neuropathy and without neuropathy in terms of endoscopic findings and gastrointestinal symptoms. Conclusion: Endoscopic findings of diabetic patient and non-diabetic control group were compared statistically. Although gastric ulcus was significantly higher in diabetic group, there was no significant difference between two groups in terms of other endoscopic findings. Hovewer, gastric ulcus frequency in diabetic group is higher, there were no significant difference in terms of gastrointestinal symptoms, diabetic complications and glisemic control in patients with other endoscopic lesions when compared with the patients with gastric ulcus. Hiatal hernia frequency in diabetic patients was higher due to control group. In shed light on our findings, diabetic patients must be evaluated for the esophageal reflux symptoms.
