Abstract

Gastropathy means any disorder of the stomach, particularly the gastric mucosa. Gastroparesis means chronic and delayed stomach emptying despite no mechanical obstruction. Subsequently, gastroparesis strikes 75,000 persons out of 45 million persons, so the estimated prevalence is 0.16 %. Further, gastroparesis attacks 30 percent of type 2 diabetics, plus 40 percent of type 1 diabetic patients. Furthermore, the ten-year merged incidence is 5 percent in type 1 diabetics and 1 percent in type 2 diabetics [1].
