Abstract
Antral G cell hyperplasia in the gastric antrum as well as in areas of metaplasia in the body of the stomach were observed in six uremic patients receiving chronic dialysis. On the other hand, D cells were encountered with extreme rarity. This abnormal pattern of gastrointestinal endocrine cells may explain the hypergastrinemia as well as poorly defined gastrointestinal complaints observed clinically in these patients.
