Prevalence of Gastric Motor Dysfunction and Upper GI Symptoms in Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasias
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The researchers are trying to find out more about Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE). This is a condition that affects the blood vessels in the stomach, leading to their enlargement and possible bleeding. It can also cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea. By participating in this study, you will help us learn how often these symptoms occur and how they relate to stomach functioning.

Treatments
Cirrhosis With Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia
Patients with Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia with cirrhosis will undergo gastric motor function testing. This will be measured by radioscintigraphy after overnight fast using a radiolabeled meal.
Cirrhosis Without Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia
Patients without Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia with cirrhosis will undergo gastric motor function testing. This will be measured by radioscintigraphy after overnight fast using a radiolabeled meal.
