This presentation session will be a focused review of the literature on equine glandular gastric disease (EGGD). EGGD is now considered a separate disease process from equine squamous gastric disease (ESGD) and is clinically more difficult to manage. While the pathophysiology and treatment of ESGD is well-described, relatively little is understood about EGGD. This session will provide an in-depth review of EGGD. Currently available scoring systems and disease phenotypes will be discussed as well as the potential pathophysiologic mechanisms of EGGD. Finally, this session will outline an evidence-based approach to formulation of monitoring and treatment plans in clinical cases of EGGD.

Learning Objectives:

Compare and contrast scoring systems for EGGD for improved documentation of cases.
Describe possible pathophysiologic mechanisms that may contribute to EGGD.
Formulate a treatment plan for clinical cases based on EGGD phenotype.
