Gastritis can be rapidly treated but may recur. Although majority of gastritis cases remain asymptomatic or without complications, the common complications, when it occurs, include peptic ulcers and gastric neoplasms (including malignant).
Gastritis may be seen as a commonly occurring inflammatory disease in many individuals. Gastritis usually persists throughout life and the chance of spontaneous healing is rare. Gastritis is mostl associated with the presence of [[Helicobacter pylori]] infection. The gastric mucosa undergoes inflammation and may lead to atrophic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is a condition which is commonly observed as a manifestation of pathogenesis of many gastric disease conditions. Gastric secretory functions are usually impaired due to the gastric mucosa undergoing inflammation and atrophy. Increase in the prevalence of gastritis is attributed to the increasing age and the onset varies among different ethnicities. The increased risk of developing duodenal and peptic ulcers have been observed in individuals with persistent gastritis. Biopsies and routine evaluations may help predict the progression of gastritis to further conditions such as the [[peptic ulcer disease]]. Complications of Gastritis may include, [[peptic ulcers]], [[gastrointestinal perforation]], [[gastrointestinal bleeding]], [[Gastric polyps|gastric polyp]], [[anemia]] due to erosive gastritis, [[vitamin B12]] deficiency, [[pernicious anemia]], [[gastric outlet obstruction]], increased risk of developing benign or malignant growths in the lining of the stomach which may lead to stomach cancer. Prognosis for gastritis is majorly dependent upon the type of gastritis and etiological factors. In Acute gastirtis, the condition improves upon refraining from risk factors such as [[NSAIDs]], [[alcohol]], [[cigarette smoking]], acidic food, and beverages. In Autoimmune gastirtis, prognosis is usually good for [[vitamin B12]] deficiency when treated with [[cyanocobalamin]] therapy. Although in Autoimmune gastritis, there is an increased risk for carcinoid tumors and [[gastric adenocarcinoma]]. In Chronic gastirtis associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, the prognosis is good. The triple therapy regimen may not be effective when compared to quadruple bismuth-based regimen is has proven to be very effective comparatively.

Symptoms of gastritis improve with appropriate treatment.
Gastritis is a common inflammatory disease. Gastritis usually persists throughout life and the chance of spontaneous healing is rare. Gastritis is most commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. The gastric mucosa undergoes inflammatory changes which may finally lead to atrophic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is commonly observed as a manifestation of progression of many gastric conditions. Gastric secretory functions are usually impaired due to inflammation and atrophy of the gastric mucosa. Increase in the prevalence of gastritis is attributed to the increasing age and the onset varies among different ethnicities.

Overview

Gastritis may be seen as a commonly occurring inflammatory disease in many individuals. Gastritis usually persists throughout life and the chance of spontaneous healing is rare. Gastritis is mostl associated with the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. The gastric mucosa undergoes inflammation and may lead to atrophic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is a condition which is commonly observed as a manifestation of pathogenesis of many gastric disease conditions. Gastric secretory functions are usually impaired due to the gastric mucosa undergoing inflammation and atrophy. Increase in the prevalence of gastritis is attributed to the increasing age and the onset varies among different ethnicities. The increased risk of developing duodenal and peptic ulcers have been observed in individuals with persistent gastritis. Biopsies and routine evaluations may help predict the progression of gastritis to further conditions such as the peptic ulcer disease. Complications of Gastritis may include, peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric polyp, anemia due to erosive gastritis, vitamin B12 deficiency, pernicious anemia, gastric outlet obstruction, increased risk of developing benign or malignant growths in the lining of the stomach which may lead to stomach cancer. Prognosis for gastritis is majorly dependent upon the type of gastritis and etiological factors. In Acute gastirtis, the condition improves upon refraining from risk factors such as NSAIDs, alcohol, cigarette smoking, acidic food, and beverages. In Autoimmune gastirtis, prognosis is usually good for vitamin B12 deficiency when treated with cyanocobalamin therapy. Although in Autoimmune gastritis, there is an increased risk for carcinoid tumors and gastric adenocarcinoma.

Natural History

Gastritis is a common inflammatory disease. Gastritis usually persists throughout life and the chance of spontaneous healing is rare. Gastritis is most commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. The gastric mucosa undergoes inflammatory changes which may finally lead to atrophic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is commonly observed as a manifestation of progression of many gastric conditions.

The increased risk of developing duodenal and peptic ulcers have been observed in individuals with persistent gastritis.

Complications

  • Stress Induced gastritis Complications:
    • Rarely, stress-induced gastritis may lead to severe bleeding that can prove fatal and leads to a life-threatening situation.

Prognosis

  • Prognosis for gastritis is majorly dependent upon the type of gastritis and etiological factors:
    • In Acute gastritis, the condition improves upon refraining from risk factors such as NSAIDs, alcohol, cigarette smoking, acidic food, and beverages. [4]
    • In Autoimmune gastritis, prognosis is usually good for vitamin B12 deficiency when treated with cyanocobalamin therapy. Although in autoimmune gastritis, there is an increased risk for carcinoid tumors and gastric adenocarcinoma. [5] [6]
    • In Chronic gastirtis associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, the prognosis is good.
      • The triple therapy regimen may not be effective when compared to quadruple bismuth-based regimen is has proven to be very effective comparatively. [7]
      • In individuals with Helicobacter pylori infection associated chronic gastritis, if left untreated may progress to develop peptic ulcer disease, adenocarcinoma and MALT lymphoma.
