   Zollinger–Ellison syndrome (Z-E syndrome) is a rare disease in which tumors cause the stomach to produce too much acid, resulting in peptic ulcers. Symptoms include abdominal pain and diarrhea. The syndrome is caused by a gastrinoma, a neuroendocrine tumor that secretes a hormone called gastrin. [2]

3. Gastric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_acid

   Gastric acid or stomach acid is the acidic component – hydrochloric acid of gastric juice, produced by parietal cells in the gastric glands of the stomach lining. With a pH of between one and three, gastric acid plays a key role in the digestion of proteins by activating digestive enzymes , which together break down the long chains of amino ...

4. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

   Generally, metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid (e.g., lactic acidosis, see below section), there is a loss of bicarbonate from the blood, or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body. [citation needed]

5. Acid peptic diseases - Wikipedia

   Mucosal disruption in acid peptic disease patients can be caused by infection, barrier disruption, or gastric acid hypersecretion.Acid peptic diseases can arise due to various risk factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection, alcoholism, tobacco use, cocaine and amphetamine use, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use (NSAIDs), fasting, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, angiogenesis inhibitor ...

6. Hyperchlorhydria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperchlorhydria

   Hyperchlorhydria, sometimes called chlorhydria, sour stomach or acid stomach, [1] [2] refers to the state in the stomach where gastric acid levels are higher than the reference range. The combining forms of the name ( chlor- + hydr- ), referring to chlorine and hydrogen , are the same as those in the name of hydrochloric acid , which is the ...

7. Atrophic gastritis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophic_gastritis

   As a result, the stomach's secretion of essential substances such as hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor is impaired, leading to digestive problems. The most common are pernicious anemia possibly leading to vitamin B 12 deficiency ; and malabsorption of iron, leading to iron deficiency anaemia . [ 2 ]

   High anion gap metabolic acidosis is typically caused by acid produced by the body. More rarely, it may be caused by ingesting methanol or overdosing on aspirin . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The delta ratio is a formula that can be used to assess elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis and to evaluate whether mixed acid base disorder (metabolic acidosis) is present.
