A member asked:
Can acute gastritis turn into chronic gastritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. : Acute means "short term". Chronic means "long term". Wait long enough and if something doesn't get better, acute becomes chronic. Over what period of time different diseases become chronic varies.
