lüll Evaluation and treatment of dyspepsia Jones MPPostgrad Med J 2003[Jan]; 79 (927): 25-9Dyspepsia is a common symptom. Dyspeptic symptoms may be caused by a variety of conditions such as peptic ulcer disease, gastro-oesophageal reflux, and malignancy. Most often, however, no cause is identified and dyspepsia is deemed to be functional. While symptom severity does influence frequency of consultation, dyspeptic consulters also differ from non-consulters with respect to symptom perception and anxiety. This highlights the importance of understanding the patient's agenda early in the course of evaluation. Patients over the age of 55 years or with alarm symptoms should be referred for prompt endoscopy. In the absence of other clinically apparent aetiologies, uninvestigated dyspeptics can be either tested and treated for Helicobacter pylori or empirically treated with proton pump inhibitors. Uninvestigated dyspeptics failing empiric therapy should be referred for evaluation that includes endoscopy. Further therapy with prokinetics, tricyclic antidepressants, fundal relaxants, antidepressants, or psychotherapy is guided by predominant symptoms and assessment of possible psychiatric factors.|Adult[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Dyspepsia/drug therapy/*etiology[MESH]|Gastroscopy[MESH]|Helicobacter Infections/complications[MESH]|Helicobacter pylori[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Peptic Ulcer/complications[MESH] |
