Abstract:
Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a special type of atrophic gastritis caused by autoimmune abnormalities. Diagnosis of AIG is often delayed because of the absence of typical symptoms in the early stage, which results in inadequate treatment and poor cancer screening. It is crucial to improve the awareness of this disease. This article summarizes the clinical manifestations, endoscopic features, and treatments of autoimmune gastritis. Conventional therapy consists of adequate iron and vitamin B12 supplementation as well as symptomatic approaches. The associated risk for gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric neuroendocrine tumors requires regular endoscopic follow up. This article is helpful in prevention and treatment of AIG.
