ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of helicobacter pylori gastroduodentitis in uraemic patients on maintenance dialysis treatment. Forty patients underwent endoscopy and gastroduodenal biopsy. Endoscopic gastroduodentitis was found in twenty patients [50%]. On the other-hand histological gastritis was found in 65% of patients and duodenitis in 30% of patients. The analysis of the results demonstrated no correlation, between histological and endoscopic gastritis or duodenitis. Helicobacter pylori occurred in the stomach body or antrum in twelve patients [30%]. Their presence was insignificantly associated with gastritis in particular acute and acute on chronic rather than chronic gastritis
