Chronic Atrophic Gastritis


Chronic atrophic gastritis is mainly a histological diagnose, and cannot be made during endoscopy. However, the gastric mucosa gets thin, and the blood vessels beneath it are seen quite more clearly than usually in this condition. The mucosa can have a slight yellowish character, which is not easy to visualize in these pictures from the corpus region.
