Study Notes
Gastritis
- Acute gastritis can be caused by non-infective factors, including irritation from:
- Drugs such as aspirin (NSAIDs) and chemotherapy
- Smoking and alcoholism
Features of Gastritis
- Gastritis can be classified into three types based on the location of inflammation:
- Antral predominant
- Corpus predominant
- Pangastritis (inflammation of the entire stomach wall)
Chronic Gastritis
- There are two types of chronic gastritis:
- Chronic superficial gastritis
- Chronic atrophic gastritis
Morphological Features of Chronic Gastritis
- Mucosa:
- Slight flattening of gastric rugae in chronic superficial gastritis
- More thinned and flattened, and red in chronic atrophic gastritis
Microscopic Features of Chronic Gastritis
- Inflammation is limited to the inner 1/3 of the mucosa (in the lamina propria) with:
- Mixed lymphocytes
- Plasma cells
- Few neutrophils
- Eosinophils
