Does regular hemodialysis reverse gastric mucosal atrophy of patients with chronic renal failure?
A possibility of regeneration of the background gastric mucosa in proportion to the duration of hemodialysis was suggested on the basis of histopathological evidence. The observed regeneration of gastric mucosa was ascribable to elimination of factors associated with atrophy of gastric mucosa including H. pylori by hemodialysis.
Our results suggest that, although ESCM implantation can improve the function of infarcted myocardium, strategies to prevent tumorigenesis should be developed.
