Disorders of the stomach
Gastritis
Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which can be considered
as acute or chronic and by the under-lying pathology (see Fig. 4.6).
There is little correlation between the degree of inflammation and
symptomatology. Patients may complain of epigastric burning pain and
occasionally vomiting. Endoscopy can be performed to confirm the diagnosis but
is rarely indicated in acute gastritis.
