title: [Control using omeprazole in a case of upper digestive hemorrhage, induced by erosive uremic hemorrhagic gastritis resistant to conventional therapy].
abstract: Erosive and/or ulcerative lesions of the digestive tract often complicate chronic renal failure. These lesions usually cause only chronic bleeding. In the rare cases of massive digestive bleeding, conventional therapy is frequently unsatisfactory. A case of massive bleeding, due to anti-H2 therapy resistant erosive haemorrhagic uremic gastritis is reported, where repeated transfusions failed to correct a marked anaemia (Hb = 0.8 g/dl). Considerable improvement of the endoscopy, clinical and hemato-biochemical pictures was achieved with 40 mg/day omeprazole. Three-months follow-up confirmed the efficacy and safety of the drug.
