Question 1

can a high gastrin cause small lesions in the lungs my level is about 1,600.

Accepted Answer

Whoa: Gastrin itself will not do this, but let’s look at the big picture. High gastrin can be due to a range of things from taking antacids to having a rare pancreatic cancer. Lung nodules can be anything from the banal lesions of histoplasmosis that are almost the norm in much of the US to metastatic cancer. Telling the difference is the radiologist’s and clinicians job. I hope it’s nothing.

Question 4

5 months upper-mid abd. pain/18 pound weight loss. upper gi,  us,  2 cts, 1 mri. ugi found gastritis, hp neg. no help from ppis. gallbladder ok. cts/mri  followed spleen lesions, thought now to be sarcoid. could sarcoid cause other pain? (lungs ok.)

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Your various and detailed testing only showed gastritis but your ongoing pain combined with significant weight loss suggests more than gastritis going on. I recommend a gastroscopy with special attention to areas of the stomach where some gastric ulcers-benign or malignant are difficult to visualize. If you've already had a gastroscopy I recommend another one for thoroughness.

Question 5

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Inflammation or reaction to a foreign body like a bacteria such as infectio fluid in the lungs are also some disease states that cause your body to attack its own tissue and i can closterwood in the longs also remember that all these connect organs are connected in some way to each other in the chest so if the heart fails fluking back up into the lungs and vice versa is more competine you realize but it's a good question.

Question 8

what causes fluid behind the lungs?

Accepted Answer

A number of things: When fluid accumulates in the spaces around the lungs (pleural spaces), this is called a pleural effusion.  There are a number of causes for pleural effusions.  One cause is heart failure.  When the heart does not work well, its pumping action is decreased and fluid can back up into the lungs and the spaces around the lungs.  Another cause might be inflammation of the lungs (as with pneumonia).

Question 9

what causes a person's lungs to collapse?

Accepted Answer

Varies...: Most commonly it is from either trauma that can result in increased pressures in the chest or rib fractures that tear the lung.  The other common source is bleb or bullous disease of the lung.  Imagine an overinflated balloon ready to pop.  Something causes it to have increased pressure and air then leaks out to cause the lung to collapse.  Other reasons can include cancer and bad emphysema.
