BACKGROUND: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is histologically classified into three phases according to the severity of oxyntic mucosal atrophy: early, florid, and end phases. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the AIG phase and the anti-parietal cell antibody titer.
METHODS: Patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were retrospectively reviewed in this study. We enrolled patients who were histologically diagnosed with AIG and serologically tested for anti-parietal cell antibody (APCA). AIG patients were classified into three groups: early, florid, and end phase groups. Clinical characteristics, including APCA titers, were compared among these three groups.
RESULTS: A total of 44 AIG patients were enrolled. There were two patients in the early phase, 11 in the florid phase, and 31 in the end phase. APCA-positive rates were 100% in the early phase, 90.9% in the florid phase, and 90.3% in the end phase. The mean APCA titer was 480 U in the early phase, 220 U in the florid phase, and 150 U in the end phase. There was a stepwise decrease in the APCA titer from the early phase to the end phase. The mean APCA titer for the end phase was significantly lower than that of the early phase or florid phase. Additionally, there was a stepwise decrease in serum gastrin levels from the early phase to the end phase.
CONCLUSION: AIG progresses from the early phase to the end phase, and the APCA titer shows a decrease. The negativity of APCA could occur, especially in the end phase.
