[Status of microcirculation in patients with chronic gastritis and its relation to morphofunctional changes in the stomach].

Studies on 74 patients with chronic gastritis showed that the disease was accompanied by disorders of the microcirculatory bed of the bulbar conjunctiva characterized by the appearance of perivascular edema, inhomogeneity of the vascular caliber and coiling, change of arteriolovenular ratios, the formation of vascular glomerules, neglected zones, intravascular aggregation of erythrocytes and microthromboses. These changes were combined with disorders of the end blood flow of the gastric mucosa detected in its specimens. A degree of the above disorders depended on the expression of exacerbation and period of disease, peculiarities of lesion of the gastric mucosa, secretory and motor functions of the stomach.
