Gastric Mucosa Inflammation: Diagnostic Tests

Obligatory medical device diagnostics.

  • To make the diagnosis of gastritis, a gastroscopy (endoscopic examination of the stomach) is performed. As part of the examination, a biopsy (tissue sample collection) from the stomach takes place. The sample obtained in this way is examined microscopically to detect the gastritis. At the same time, any pre-existing gastric ulcer or gastric carcinoma (stomach cancer) can be detected.Cave (Caution)! Ulcers (ulcers) in the fundus, corpus and large curvature (red curvature of the stomach) are always suspicious of carcinoma.
