What Does Erythema In Duodenum In EGD Report Suggest?

EGD done today. Following was found:

Erythema and granularity in the antrum compatible with bile reflux gastritis (biopsy)
Spot in the duodenal bulb (biopsy)
Retained fluids in stomach, Small hiatal hernia

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the results, my opinion is as follows:
1. Erythema means redness or ongoing inflammation and it could be due to gastritis. - biopsy taken from that location
2. erythema with granularity indicates healing or continuing inflammation or damage with granulation tissue formation. - biopsy taken from there too.
3. other reports indicate mild acid induced damage at various location

Evaluation is being done for bleeding and no evidence is found at present.

Yes you will taking antacids an other medications for a short while.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
