ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME TREATMENT

ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME (ZES)

 Is a rare medical condition characterized by the development of tumors, known as gastrinomas, in the pancreas or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). These tumors produce excessive amounts of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates the stomach to produce acid. As a result, individuals with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome experience extremely high levels of stomach acid production, which can lead to a variety of symptoms and complications.

 CAUSE ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME:

  • Sporadic occurrence of gastrinomas.
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)
  • Genetic

 

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROM:

Symptoms:

  • Increased stomach acid production
  • Recurrent ulcers in the stomach and small intestine.
  • abdominal pain
  • heartburn
  • digestive issues
  • Diarrhea
  • Bleeding
  • weight

Diagnosis: Diagnosing Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome can be challenging because its symptoms are similar to those of other digestive disorders. Various tests are used to confirm the diagnosis, including blood tests to measure gastrin levels, imaging studies (such as CT scans and MRI), and endoscopic examinations.
