[Comorbid gastric and duodenal changes in chronic hepatitis C in young patients].
Characteristics of the gastroduodenal zone, frequency of gastric mucosa contamination with Helicobacter pylori (HP) were studied in young patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Affections of the stomach and the duodenum were encountered in 76.3% of CHC patients. They run, as a rule, latently and in most cases (80%) are associated with HP. Concurrent diseases of the upper gastroduodenal tract seem to have only a minor impact on the course of HCV infection. Therefore, it is better to avoid eradication of HP in young patients with CHC.
