Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

Tertiary care centers for patients with symptoms of gastroparesis

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Completion of a 4-hour scintigraphic low fat Egg Beaters gastric emptying study
  • Patients with either or both abnormal 2 hour (>60% retention) and 4 hour (>10% retention) gastric emptying will be enrolled and classified as definite gastroparesis (Gp)
  • Patients with normal gastric emptying, but with symptoms of gastroparesis may be enrolled and classified as possible gastroparesis or gastroparesis-like with normal gastric emptying (GLNGE)
  • Age at least 18 years at initial screening visit
  • Ability and willingness to participate in follow-up

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to comply with or complete the gastric emptying scintigraphy
  • Presence of other conditions that could explain the patient's symptoms:

  • Acute liver failure
  • Advanced liver disease (Child's B or C)
  • Acute renal failure
  • Untreated chronic renal failure (serum creatinine >3 mg/dL)
  • Total or subtotal gastric resection (patients with prior fundoplication or postvagotomy gastroparesis after pyloroplasty or antrectomy with Billroth I, Billroth II, or Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy will be eligible for enrollment)
  • Any other plausible structural or metabolic cause
  • Any other condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with study requirements
  • Inability to obtain informed consent
