Gastric acid - Role in disease
In hypochlorhydria and achlorhydria, the parietal cells are unable to produce the required amount of gastric acid in the stomach, potentially leading to gastroenteritis. Also the disinfectant properties of the gastric milieu are decreased, leading to an increased risk of infections of the digestive tract (such as the foodborne infection with Vibrio vulnificus).
In Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and hypercalcemia, there are increased gastrin levels, leading to excess gastric acid production, which can cause ulcers.
In diseases featuring excess vomiting, patients develop hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis (decreased blood acidity by H+ and chlorine depletion).

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
