Abstract:
In a review of the literature it is considered a possible relation between duodenogastric reflux and chronic gastritis. Doubtless bile acids are able to break down mucosal barrier in an acute action. But it is not proven, that bile acids cause chronic gastritis in chronic action. Furthermore duodenogastric bile reflux is a frequent and physiological event. Therefore we can not accept the duodenogastric reflux as the cause of simple chronic gastritis. The expression "reflux gastritis" is not correct for each kind of chronic gastritis that is no auto-immune gastritis.

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
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,...
Gastritis-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...
