Should expensive endoscopy accessories be thrown out once they have reached their expiry date?

Sustainability data presented at #ESGEDays2026 shows that these devices remain sterile and functional even after expiry.

Don’t be afraid of colonoscopy - here’s what you need to know 🔦

[The Practicing Endoscopist @theendoscopist]

The iron supplements were supposed to FIX his anemia.

Instead, they were causing it.

A 60-year-old man with worsening anemia despite oral iron. EGD revealed the answer.

Here's what every endoscopist should know about iron pill gastritis:

EGD showed diffuse gastritis and a focally enlarged gastric fold on the greater curvature of the proximal stomach.

Biopsies? Iron-pill gastritis.

Iron deposits brown-black crystalline hemosiderin into the mucosa — essentially a chemical burn.

Key diagnostic features:
→ Focally enlarged, erythematous gastric fold
→ Greater curvature of stomach body (most common location)
→ Tiny blood clots or active oozing
→ Erosions, ulceration, or diffuse gastritis pattern
→ Biopsy shows hemosiderin deposits in mucosa

Why it matters:

Iron pill gastritis causes occult GI bleeding — worsening the very anemia you're treating.

It's frequently overlooked and missed.

Next time you see a focally enlarged gastric fold with blood clots → think iron pill gastritis.

👉Menetrier's disease (also called hypertrophic gastropathy)

👉Diagnosis

Clinical Features:

Epigastric pain

Nausea and vomiting

Weight loss

Peripheral edema (due to hypoalbuminemia)

Anemia (due to mucosal bleeding or poor nutrition)

Laboratory Findings:

Hypoalbuminemia (low serum albumin)

Hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria (due to loss of parietal cells)

Imaging and Endoscopy:

Upper GI endoscopy shows thickened, rugal folds, especially in the body and fundus of the stomach (sparing the antrum)

Biopsies reveal:

Foveolar hyperplasia (mucus cell hyperplasia)

Glandular atrophy

Decreased parietal and chief cells

Minimal inflammation

CT or MRI may show enlarged gastric folds

Histopathology (Gold Standard):

Large, tortuous gastric rugae

Hyperplasia of surface mucous (foveolar) cells

Loss of acid-secreting cells

This is the gastrinoma (or Passaro’s) triangle where 90% of gastrinomas arise. Gastrinomas are a type of neuroendocrine tumour which can secrete gastrin, leading to peptic ulcers underlying Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastrinomas can occur de novo but 25% occurs as part of MEN-1 syndrome (pancreatic, parathyroid and pituitary malignancies). Consider this triangle when hunting for the primary.
