What is atrophic gastritis?
Chronic atrophic gastritis is a type of chronic gastritis. It is atrophy and the number of glands deep in the gastric mucosa has been violated by various reasons.
Generally speaking, chronic atrophic gastritis is divided into simple gland atrophy and metaplastic atrophy. Metagenesis refers to intestinal epithelial metaplasia, referred to as intestinal metaplasia, which refers to the replacement of normal gastric mucosal epithelium by intestinal epithelium after gastric mucosal cells are damaged. The wider the range of intestinalization, the higher the risk of developing gastric cancer .
How far is the distance from gastric cancer?
From pathology , chronic atrophic gastritis development into gastric cancer generally undergoes atrophic gastritis- intestinalization-intraepithelial neoplasia (also called atypical hyperplasia, it is the most important precancerous lesion)-gastric cancer . This process is very long and usually takes several years.
So in general, there is still a big distance between chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer. As long as regular treatment, close follow-up observation, and active treatment of precancerous lesions can extinguish the small flame that ignites gastric cancer.
What are the causes and aggravated gastritis?
Mixed atrophic gastritis is common in the elderly. Just like wrinkles on the face, it is a manifestation of ageing and is a normal physiological progress.
1.Helobacter pylori infection , bile reflux , taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, long-term drinking, autoimmune factors, etc. are common causes of disease.
2. Repeated or persistent Helicobacter pylori infection, bad eating habits, etc. are potential factors that aggravate gastric mucosa atrophy and intestinalization. The water and soil contain too much nitrate , the proportion of trace elements is imbalanced, smoking, drinking for a long time, lacking fresh vegetables, fruits and essential nutrients contained, often eat fast foods such as moldy, pickled, smoked and fried foods, and excessive intake of salt;
3. Having a family history of gastric cancer can increase the risk of chronic atrophic gastritis or even increase the possibility of cancer.
What should I do if I have atrophic gastritis?
The treatment of chronic gastritis follows the principle of individualization, and the doctor will treat patients as much as possible based on the cause. If patients with Helicobacter pylori infection are treated with eradication and killing bacteria, patients with bile reflux will use prokinetic drugs or gastric mucosa protective agent combined with cholic acid .
In addition to drug treatment, it is very important for to adhere to endoscopic tracking and review .
(1) For patients with moderate and severe atrophy with intestinal , follow-up should be done about one year;
(2) If is not accompanied by intestinal dysplasia or intraepithelial neoplasia , endoscopy and pathological examinations can be followed up as appropriate;
(3) accompanied by low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia For patients, the doctor can shorten to every 3 months or half a year follow-up;
(4) and high-level intraepithelial neoplasia , and high-level intraepithelial neoplasia , you need to check immediately for gastroscopy , and if necessary, needs to undergo surgical treatment or endoscopic local treatment .
