Overview
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).
Natural History
Most gastritis improves rapidly with treatment.
Complications
- Acute Gastritis:
- 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 Gastritis:
- Complications of Chronic Gastritis include:
- Atrophic gastritis
- Peptic ulcers
- Gastrointestinal Perforation
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding
- Anemia due to erosive gastritis
- Stomach Cancer
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Pernicious anemia
- Increased risk of developing benign or malignant growths in the lining of the stomach.
- Stress Induced Gastritis:
- Rarely, Stress-Induced Gastritis may lead to severe bleeding that can prove fatal and leads to a life-threatening situation.
- Helicobacter pylori-associated Gastritis:
- Complications of Helicobacter pylori-associated Gastritis include:
- Chronic Helicobacter pylori-associated Gastritis 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 gastritis is
