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 a conditon which is commonly observed as a manifestation of pathogenesis of many gastric disease consitions. Gastric secretory functions are usualy 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 redict the progression of gastritis to further conditions such as the peptic ulcer disease. [1] [2] [3]
Complications
- Acute gastirtis Complications:
- Ulcer bleed
- Bleeding as a result of gastric erosion
- Anemia as a result of the bleeding from the ulcer or due to the gastric erosion
- Gastric outlet obstruction
- Chronic gastirtis Complications:
- Atrophic gastirtis
- Peptic ulcers
- Gastrointestinal Perforation
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding
- Anemia due to erosive gastirtis
- Stomach Cancer
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Pernicious anemia
- Increased risk of developing benign or malignant growths in the lining of the stomach.
- Atrophic gastirtis Complications:
- Atrophic gastirtis as a result of Helicobacter pylori infection:
- Gastric ulceration
- Gastric cancer (adenocarcinoma)
- Atrophic gastirtis as a result of atrophic gastirtis due to Autoimmune gastirtis:
- Gastric polyp
- Gastric cancer (adenocarcinoma)
- Pernicious anemia
- Atrophic gastirtis as a result of Helicobacter pylori infection:
- Stress Induced gastirtis Complications:
- Rarely, Stress-Induced gastirtis may lead to severe bleeding that can prove fatal and leads to a life-threatening situation.
- Helicobacter pylori-associated gastirtis Complications:
- Chronic Helicobacter pylori-associated gastirtis increases the risk for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.
- Gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Gastric adenocarcinoma
- Pseudomembranous colitis following H. pylori treatment
- B12 and iron deficiency anemia
- Post Treatment complication of of Helicobacter pylori infection is Clostridium difficile infection
Prognosis
- Prognosis for gastirtis is majorly dependent upon the type of gastirtis and etiological factors:
- In Acute gastirtis, the condition improves upon refraining from risk factors such as NSAIDs, alcohol, cigarette smoking, acidic food, and beverages. [4]
- In Autoimmune gastirtis, prognosis is usually good for vitamin B12 deficiency when treated with cyanocobalamin therapy. Although in autoimmune gastirtis, 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.
