Comparative analysis of endoscopic and histopathological findings in patients with chronic gastritis.

Chronic gastritis is a common gastrointestinal disorder with variable clinical presentations and the accuracy of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in reflecting histopathological changes remains inconsistent. Therefore, it is of interest to compare endoscopic findings with histopathological grading in 189 adult patients with chronic gastritis. The most frequent endoscopic finding was erythematous gastritis, followed by erosive and nodular changes, while histopathology revealed mild to severe chronic gastritis. Therefore, this study advances knowledge by providing valuable insights into the correlation between endoscopic and histopathological findings, which could improve diagnostic accuracy and management of chronic gastritis.
