A member asked:

Is serositis just on the outside of organs? egd shows bile gastritis on lining of stomach.but rheum says this is serositis. i have sle. who is right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You are right re. se: Yes, serositis is only on the outside(covering) of an organ. It is difficult to see serositis, so the egd findings are more likely to be correct.
