Calcium imbalance in comorbid gastroduodenal ulcers

Purpose of the study. To study the level of blood calcium, reflecting the functional state of the calcium-regulating system (CRS), in the comorbid course of gastroduodenal ulcers (GDU) with chronic erosive gastritis / chronic erosive duodenitis (CEG/CED), arterial hypertension (AH), their symptomatic nature when taking non-steroidal drugs (NSAIDs) and find out its effect on the activity of the ulcerous process, the state of regional microcirculation and the secretory function of the stomach.

Materials and methods. 132 patients with GDU were examined. All patients were divided into groups: the first (39 people) – patients with recurrent peptic ulcer (PU) and CEG/CED, the second – 23 people with recurrent peptic ulcer and hypertension, the third – 20 patients with symptomatic gastroduodenal ulcers (SGDU) when taking NSAIDs. The fourth (control) group included 56 patients with PU without associated pathology.

Results and discussion. Recurrence of PUr, comorbid to its course with CEG/CED, AH, SGDU, when taking NSAIDs, occurs with an increase in the level of calcium in the blood, which contributes to the activation of the acid-peptic factor, impaired microcirculation and repair processes in the mucous of the gastroduodenal zone, the development and maintaining the ulcerous process.

Conclusion. Gastroduodenal ulcers are accompanied by dysfunction of the calcium regulatory system, which is characterized by an increase in blood calcium, which supports the formation of the main ulcerous mechanisms. In the treatment of comorbid and symptomatic gastroduodenal ulcers, it is necessary to include drugs for correcting the calcium-regulating system, which will increase the activity of sanogenic mechanisms.
