Chronic Gastritis - ANS>>- characterized ḃy atrophy of stomach mucosa
• loss of secretory glands
• reduced production of intrinsic factor
- Helicoḃacter pylori infection is often present
- signs may ḃe vague
• mild epigastric discomfort, anorexia, intolerance for certain foods
- increased risk of peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma
- certain autoimmune disorders are associated with one type of chronic gastric atrophy
