A member asked:

I got a egd today and waiting on the biopsy results. what does congestion in the stomach body and antrum compatible with gastritis? & normal mucosa?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Patchy inflammation: Congestion is synonymous with hyperemia, which literally means redness. Based on the your description of the endoscopic appearance of your stomach lining it sounds like you have a patchy mild inflammation there. Biopsies will tell more, and may help point to cause of said inflammation (e.g. H.Pylori, nsaid, etc.).
