Detailed Description
The Gastroparesis Registry (GpR) is an observational study to clarify the epidemiology, natural history, clinical course, and other outcomes of gastroparesis. The Gastroparesis Registry will also provide a resource to inform the development of clinical trials and ancillary studies of the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, and impact of gastroparesis.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

-
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

-
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)
