Abstract:
The authors report a histological study of chronic gastritis. Results are as follows: Chronic gastritis showed high rate of chronic atrophic gastritis (76.1%), among them mild atrophic gastritis is 60%, moderate and severe atrophic gastritis is 15% and 1.1%, respectively. The majority of gastritis is in active chronic gastritis patterns (75%); H. pylori infection rate is 52.1%. Intestinal metaplasia was detected in 31.8%. The rate of complete intestinal metaplasia is higher than that of incomplete intestinal metaplasia (63.3% vs. 36.3%). Dysplasia was revealed in 7.9% (low grade: 77.3%; high grade: 22.7%. There is a significant correlation between atrophic levels and the rate of metaplasia and dysplasia.
