Abstract:
Chronic gastritis is a very common disorder which is commonly caused by Helicobacter pylori. Histopathological examination is the mainstay of the diagnosis. We evaluated 300 gastric antral biopsies using revised Sydney system and concluded that it helps to analyse gastric biopsies in a very comprehensive manner. It was seen that H. pylori, chronic inflammatory infiltrate, neutrophilic infiltration, presence of lymphoid follicles and aggregates and surface epithelial damage are strongly associated with each other. The presence of one of these histological feature is a strong indicator for presence of other features. On the other hand intestinal metaplasia and atrophy of gastric glands was not associated with the above mentioned histological features. In the presence of dense chronic inflammation and infiltration by neutrophils one should carefully search for H. pylori organism. We also correlated histological features with endoscopy and found that cases of duodenal ulcer had more severe antral gastritis on histology as compared to those with hyperemia or antral erosions.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
