Neftaly Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES) Services
Expert Care for Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES)
At Neftaly Health, we offer specialized services for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES) — a rare digestive disorder that causes excessive stomach acid production. Our multidisciplinary team of gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, and dietitians work together to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term symptom control for every patient.
Understanding Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES)
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a rare condition in which one or more tumors (gastrinomas) form in the pancreas or the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). These tumors release excess amounts of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates acid production in the stomach.
The result is severe peptic ulcers, acid reflux, and digestive discomfort that may not respond to standard ulcer treatments. In some cases, gastrinomas can be cancerous, making early diagnosis and management essential.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Persistent or recurrent abdominal pain
- Chronic diarrhea
- Severe or multiple peptic ulcers
- Acid reflux or heartburn
- Nausea and vomiting (sometimes with blood)
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue or weakness
If left untreated, ZES can lead to ulcer complications and nutrient absorption issues.
