Gastrointestinal Pathology

Gastrointestinal pathology encompasses diseases affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Common conditions include Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Cohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, liver cirrhosis, gallstones, pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal cancers. Diagnosis often involves endoscopic procedures, imaging studies, and histopathological examination of tissue samples. Treatment strategies vary depending on the specific condition and may include medication, lifestyle changes, surgery, or a combination of these approaches. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes and quality of life for patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
