Chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric mucosal atrophy--one and the same
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
|February 1, 1983
Abstract:
The differentiation between gastric mucosal atrophy and atrophic gastritis is studied by quantitatively evaluating inflammatory cell component in cases with pernicious anemia and chronic atrophic gastritis without anemia. Comparison of data from patients with fundic gastritis without anemia and in patients with pernicious anemia failed to reveal any significant difference in the inflammatory cell count in the epithelial layers or in the lamina propria.
