Chronic gastritis
Chronic gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
Etiology
- Bacterias (Bacterial gastritis)
- Helicobacter pylori (Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis)
- Bile reflux. In some cases, bile, normally used to aid digestion in the small intestine, will enter through the pyloric valve of the stomach if it has been removed during surgery or does not work properly, also leading to gastritis.
- HIV/AIDS
- Crohn's disease (Crohn gastritis)
- Celiac disease (lymphocytic gastritis)[1]
- connective tissue disorders
- liver
- kidney failure
Classification
Since 1992, chronic gastritis lesions are classified according to the Sydney system.[2]
