Complications
Complications of gastritis can include:[1]
- peptic ulcers
- atrophic gastritis (loss of stomach glands)
- blood loss anemia (from erosive gastritis)
- vitamin B12 deficiency and pernicious anemia (from atrophic gastritis)
- growths in the stomach lining (benign or malignant)
Gastritis does not usually lead to complications, but there are rare instances when acute stress gastritis can cause severe bleeding that can be potentially life threatening.
