Aim: Helicobacter pylori, the most common bacterial infestation in the gastrointestinal tract. It is known to role in the development of intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, gastric cancer, and atrophic gastritis. H. pylori infection has been thought to be related with many diseases such as iron deficiency, vitamin b deficiency…In our study, we aimed to evaluate the patients who underwent endoscopic examination in terms of endoscopic, pathological and laboratory (Hemogram and iron values) findings. Material and Methods: Between October 2020 and July 2021, 322 patients who were requested endoscopic examination and laboratory examination due to gastrointestinal system complaints were included in the study. Results: In our study; 152 H. pylori negative cases and 170 Helicobacter pylori positive cases were detected. Helicobacter pylori negative (HP-) group, the number of men was 50 and the number of women was 102. In the HP+ group, the number of men was 61 and the number of women was 109 (P=0.6387). The mean age in the (HP-) group was 51.48 ± 1.260. The mean age in the HP+ group was 48.29 ± 1.215 (P=0.0700). HGB value in the HP- group was 13.66 ± 0.1249, and in the HP+ group, it was found 13.95 ± 0.1359 (P=0.1194). The mean MCV value was found to be 85.74 ± 0.4877 in the HP- group, and 85.69 ± 0.5860 (P=0.9505) in the HP+ group. The mean Ferritin value in the HP- group was 38.71 ± 2.979, and 44.38 ± 3.195 (P=0.1983) in the HP+ group. In addition, 31 cases with Pangastritis in the HP- group and 54 cases in the HP+ group were detected (p=0.0208). Conclusion: In our study; the endoscopic, laboratory and pathological findings of HP infection were examined, no significant relationship was found between age, gender, HGB, MCV and Ferritin values with HP infection. There is no negative correlation with Antral gastritis and Atrophic gastritis in gastritis cases, a significant correlation was found between pangastritis and HP (p=0.0208) |
