Menetrier's Disease is a rare and mysterious stomach disorder characterised by giant gastric folds, excessive mucus production, and protein loss. This comprehensive research article examines Menetrier's Disease, focusing on its clinical features, diagnosis, and available treatment options. The article aims to provide a complete understanding of Menetrier's Disease, fill the knowledge gap, and encourage improved clinical management. Description of the State of Knowledge Menetrier's Disease is a rare condition, and its cause is still unknown, though it may be linked to previous viral and bacterial infections and increased expression of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-a). Diagnosis can be established by endoscopic examination and histological analysis of material from a full-thickness mucosal biopsy. Treatment options are limited and concentrated on symptom relief, while the outcome of the therapy may vary. Summary Menetrier's Disease presents significant difficulties in both diagnosis and treatment. This review outlines the clinical features, classification, diagnostic approaches, available treatment options, and prognosis for healthcare professionals and researchers seeking to understand this disease better. Better understanding of Menetrier's Disease is crucial to improve patient care and explore new, potential therapeutic avenues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
