Increased epithelial permeability syndrome in organic diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract: systematization of literature data

Abstract

In 2021, the first Multidisciplinary national consensus was published in Russia. The document provides a comprehensive analysis of pathophysiological, clinical and pharmacotherapeutic aspects of the increased epithelial permeability syndrome (IEPS) as one of the main mechanisms of human diseases. A separate chapter of the consensus devoted to the role of IEPS in organic diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract demonstrates the importance of this pathophysiological mechanism in the genesis of this group of diseases. This review aims to systematize the literature data on the role of IEPS in organic diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer.
