1 Funksjonelle tarmlidelser FD IBS Funksjonelle Øsofaguslidelser Matoverfølsomhet

2 Economical Impact Functional Dyspepsia is a great economical challenge to the society The annual expenditure due to the management of patients with functional dyspepsia was estimated to 2786 Mill. SEK Nyren et al. 1984

3 Epidemiology of FD Prevalence 25% Only 1 in 4 consult medical care Helicobacter pylory infection similar to background population 17% postifectious dyspepsia genotyping

4 Funksjonell Dyspepsi (FD) ROMA III Må inkludere 1. En eller flere av a. Plagsom postprandial oppfylthet b. Tidlig metthet c. Epigastrisk smerte d. Brennende følelse i epigastriet OG 2. Ingen tegn til strukturell sykdom (inkludert ved øvre endoskopi) som kan forklare symptomene Kriteriene må være oppfylt siste 3 mnd med symptom start minst 6 mnd før diagnose

5 ROMA III

6 Dyspeptic symptoms CNS (neurotisism) Low vagal tone (RSA) Genetics Inflammation Visceral hypersensitivity (barostat, drinking test) Disturbed accomodation of prox stomach, wide antrum (ultrasound)

7 Nutrient signaling in the small intestine Nutrients in the gut trigger reflex control of gut secretory and motor function via vagal pathways. nodose ganglion vagal motor outflow NTS vagal afferents slowed gastric emptying lipids carbohydrates protein slows gastric emptying to a rate matched to the absorptive capacity of the small intestine

8 Nutrient-induced activation/modulation of upper GI vagal afferents L-Try, Phe Calcium receptor NPW GPR-7 Gaq lumen G-cell vagal afferent GLP-1 5-HT ATP CCK - Direct paracrine effects Ghrelin etc. Leptin Neuropeptide W - Modulation of function (paracrine /endocrine)

9 Pathogenesis of FD Impaired accommodation Visceral hypersensitivity to distention Delayed gastric emptying H. Pylori infection Low vagal tone Psychological factors

11 Gastric Accommodation Definition Gastric accommodation is a complex process that describes how the size of the gastric compartment changes in response to a meal Extragastric reflexes: Receptive relaxation Intestino-gastric reflexes Colo-gastric reflexes Intragastric reflexes: Adaptive relaxation Antro-fundic reflexes

12

13 Gastric Accommodation Normal stomach Functional dyspepsia Reflux oesophagitis

15 Postprandial, but not fasting, distention thresholds are related to the severity of meal-related symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia. GASTROENTEROLOGY 2013;145:

17 fmri and meal-stimulated brain activity

18

19 Dyspeptic symptoms epigastric pain or discomfort nausea bloating postprandial fullness early satiety belching regurgitation vomiting heartburn anorexia

20 Subgroups of FD B1a: Ulcer-like dyspepsia Pain centered in the upper abdomen is the predominant (most bothersome) symptom B1b: Dysmotility-like dyspepsia An unpleasant or troublesome non-painful sensation (discomfort) centered in the upper abdomen is the predominant symptom; this sensation may be characterized by or associated with upper abdominal fullness, early satiety, bloating, or nausea B1c: Unspecified dyspepsia

21 Functional dyspepsia overlaps with other diseases Irritabel Bowel syndrome Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disease Motility disorders Biliary tract dyspepsia Depression Anxiety Somatoform disorders

34 Helicobacter pylori and functional dyspepsia: An unsolved issue World J Gastroenterol 2014 H. pylori eradication is associated with a 10% therapeutic gain as compared to placebo and that symptoms improvement ultimately occurs in nearly 40% of eradicated patients Meta-analysis, including data more recent studies (overall 14 trials with 2993 patients), confirmed that improvement of dyspepsia symptoms occurs more frequently after H. pylori therapy than placebo.
