A member asked:
Just got an egd done and it says normal esophagus & duodenum but diffuse erythema and friability of the mucosa in the antrum. what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means Gastritis: The suffix "itis" means "inflammation". The prefix "gastro" means "stomach." the term "gastritis" thus means an "inflammed stomach" which can derive from both acid ; non-acid causes, slow emptying of the stomach, h.Pylori infection, atrophic ; hypersecretory problems. Try acid blockers ; diet modification, recommended by your doctor.
