Abstract
This article investigates the morphofunctional changes of the gastric mucosa in patients with diffuse liver diseases. During the study, the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection, atrophic gastritis, and functional disorders of the gastric mucosa was analyzed in patients with steatosis, hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis. The condition of the gastric mucosa was evaluated using Gastropanel testing and endoscopic examination methods. According to the study results, Helicobacter pylori infection was identified in 89.0% of patients. HP-associated gastritis was more commonly observed in men, whereas corpus and antral atrophy predominated among women. In addition, patients with liver cirrhosis demonstrated more pronounced morphofunctional changes of the gastric mucosa. The findings indicate that comprehensive evaluation of the gastric mucosa in patients with diffuse liver diseases is of great clinical importance for the early detection of high-risk atrophic processes and the timely implementation of preventive measures.
