👍🏻 Support us: Mastercard: 5106 2110 8086 3207 (ARMEN ASTVATSATRYAN) Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by any of several conditions, including infection (Helicobacter pylori), drugs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol), stress, and autoimmune phenomena (atrophic gastritis). Many cases are asymptomatic, but dyspepsia and gastrointestinal bleeding sometimes occur. Diagnosis is by endoscopy. Treatment is directed at the cause but often includes acid suppression and, for H. pylori infection, antibiotics. #gastritis #stomach #helicobacterpylori Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology.
