Abstract :

 

Aim:– To study the cause of dyspepsia by doing open–access Upper GI Endoscopy.

 

Materials and methods: – 154 patients and 150 controls were studied in a six months period. Patient who presented with dyspepsia were subjected to open–access upper GI endoscopy. The procedure and the risks involved were properly explained to the patients and their relatives.

 

Results:– We found that dyspepsia as a symptom is found in all age ranges. Dyspepsia is more common in women. On doing upper GI endoscopy, we found that, NUD was the most common cause of dyspepsia. NUD was present in 73.38 % (113) patients presenting with the symptoms of dyspepsia. This was highly significant finding in comparision to the controls as indicatd by the highly significant p–value of < 0.01. The next common finding was gastro–esophageal reflux disease (GERD), which was also highly significant.

 

Conclusion:– Dyspepsia has a wide range of causes ranging famous NUD to GERD to PUD to malignancy. This needs to be evaluated by doing open access endoscopy. NUD is one of the most common cause for dyspepsia.
