    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
