Hello doctor,
I have congestive edematous antral mucosa with a slightly raised lesion size 1.0. I had a biopsy and got a picture of grade 3 atrophic gastritis. So the doctor asked me if grade 3 atrophic gastritis is dangerous? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is grade 3 atrophic gastritis dangerous? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Biopsy results are atrophic gastritis which is a chronic inflammation, currently not cancerous. However, with this lesion, you need to periodically follow up with an endoscopy every year. The extent of the endoscopy over time should be based on the biopsy results. To be careful, you should visit a gastroenterologist for the most complete advice.
If you still have questions about grade 3 atrophic gastritis, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
