erosive gastritis

Erosive gastritis is divided into acute erosive gastritis and chronic erosive gastritis. Acute erosive gastritis is an acute gastritis characterized by multiple erosions of the gastric mucosa, also known as acute gastric mucosal lesion or acute erosive hemorrhagic gastritis. This disease has become one of the important causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, accounting for about 20% of upper gastrointestinal bleeding cases. Clinical symptoms are mostly dull or severe pain in the upper abdomen, accompanied by nausea and other symptoms. In a small number of patients, due to severe primary disease symptoms, hematemesis and/or tarry stools may occur. Bleeding is often intermittent. Some patients present with acute massive bleeding, and the condition is severe, possibly leading to hemorrhagic shock. Chronic erosive gastritis, also known as verrucous gastritis or varioliform gastritis, generally only presents with postprandial fullness, acid regurgitation, belching, irregular abdominal pain, and dyspepsia symptoms.
