Major approaches in auto-immune gastritis: a systematic review

Introduction: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a subtype of chronic gastritis that is characterized by autoimmunity to parietal cells, leading to inflammation and atrophy restricted to the oxyntic mucosa, resulting in hypergastrinemia, which can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency and, consequently, pernicious anemia. Standardization of AIG histology reports and classifications in diagnostic practice is a prerequisite. Thus, in the light of endoscopy, the AIG assessment includes a degree of atrophy, remaining oxyntic mucosa, the property of mucus, and tiny whitish scattered protrusions.
