Helicobacter pylori eradication increases the serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol level in the infected patients with chronic gastritis: A single-center observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extra-gastric manifestation of Helicobacter pylori infection involves systemic inflammation, which results in the production of several cytokines. Only a few clinical trials have investigated the effect of H. pylori eradication therapy on lipid metabolism in the infected patients with chronic gastritis. We aimed to evaluate the effect of H. pylori eradication therapy on lipid metabolism in a Japanese population with chronic gastritis.

Methods

One hundred and sixty-three patients with H. pylori-associated chronic gastritis were enrolled in this study between June 2015 and March 2017.
