Summary
Chronic Gastritis and Hypochlorhydria in the Elderly provides the most current and comprehensive treatment of atrophic gastritis available. The latest theories on the pathogenesis of atrophic gastritis are examined, focusing on topics such as epidemiology and the relationship between atrophic gastritis and helicobacter pylori infection. The relationship among cell proliferation, differentiation, and gastric cancer is covered as well. The book also reviews new material on nutrient and drug bioavailability in atrophic gastritis.
Chronic Gastritis and Hypochlorhydria in the Elderly will benefit gerontologists, gastroenterologists, and clinical microbiologists treating large numbers of elderly patients. It will also serve as a reference text for medical and nutritional students.
