Intestinal metaplasia in the stomach is considered a precancerous stage of the stomach. Once patients have gastric dysplasia, patients need to be closely monitored for early detection of cancerous lesions.

Atrophic gastritis is a condition in which the cells lining the stomach are destroyed after a few years of gastritis. Atrophic gastritis is usually caused by the bacteria H.pylori. They break down the mucus layer that protects the stomach lining from acid erosion. This infection will cause damage to the cells lining the stomach if left untreated.

Atrophic gastritis, regardless of its cause, results in nutritional deficiencies through parietal cell atrophy and, as a result, decreased acid secretion. Deficiencies of vitamins D, C, and calcium are well described, but often diagnosed late.

I have a stomach problem, Hp + for a long time, due to work sometimes have to drink alcohol. I have treated HP several times but not all. Today, I have an endoscopy and the result is that I have atrophic gastritis kimura C1. Doctor let me ask if atrophic gastritis kimura C1 is dangerous? Can this disease be cured? Thank you doctor.

I tested Pepsinogen I: 90 and I/II was greater than 20, much higher than the standard. So the doctor asked me if my Pepsinogen I and I/II are high? When there are signs of need to defecate, I can't hold back for more than 5 minutes, which is very frustrating. What disease is it a symptom of? Is there any treatment, doctor? Thank you.

I have congestive edematous antral mucosa with slightly raised lesions 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.

In the Correa model of gastric carcinogenesis, Helicobacter pylori infection, atrophic gastritis, and intestinal metaplasia are associated with the development of gastric cancer. Low serum pepsinogen levels are known to be highly associated with extensive atrophic gastritis. High-resolution, high-magnification narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) allows detailed examination of the gastrointestinal mucosa. However, there are no comparative data on the usefulness of standard endoscopy and M-NBI for H. pylori infection and gastric precancerous conditions.
