Achlorhydria

Achlorhydria, or the lack of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice, is one of the symptoms of many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It can be caused by various reasons, including impaired secretion of hydrochloric acid, damage to the gastric mucosa, or disruption of the pancreas.

With achlorhydria, the level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach decreases to less than 10 mmol/L. This leads to indigestion and poor absorption of nutrients. Achlorhydria can also lead to the development of various diseases, such as stomach ulcers, gastritis, pancreatitis and others.

To diagnose achlorhydria, it is necessary to analyze gastric juice. If the level of hydrochloric acid is below normal, this may indicate the presence of achlorhydria.

Treatment for achlorhydria depends on the cause of its occurrence. If it is caused by a violation of the secretion of hydrochloric acid, then drugs that stimulate its production can be prescribed. If the gastric mucosa is damaged, it may need to be repaired.

In general, achlorhydria is a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment. If you experience symptoms of achlorhydria, contact your doctor for advice and treatment.

Name of the disease. **Achlorhydria** (sometimes also known as achylia) is attributed to low levels of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in gastric juice and mucus. Although it is usually necessary to consider the amount of HCl contained in gastric saliva, it is sometimes called cellulitis A or elastrose after the denaturation of proteins in the stomach. Low HCl content leads to insufficient fermentation and impaired fat breakdown.

Classification. Achlorhydria can be diagnosed in all age groups. However, it most often occurs in children and women in the postpartum period and develops as a result of their low availability of digestion. In some people it may be inherited or caused by genetic abnormalities. The disease affects about 4
