Learn About Menetrier Disease

What is the definition of Menetrier Disease?

Menetrier disease is a gastrointestinal condition characterized by overgrowth of the mucous cells (foveola) in the mucous membrane lining the stomach, causing enlarged gastric folds. This leads to excessive mucus production, causing protein loss from the stomach and low or absent levels of stomach acid. Symptoms may include pain in the upper middle region of the stomach, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The cause of Menetrier disease is largely not known, although some cases are associated with infection, particularly pediatric cases, which can be caused by CMV infections.
