difference between gastropathy and gastritis
â¢ Gastritis refers to inflammation of the gastric mucosa, whereas gastropathy is a nonspecific microscopic injury pattern with little or no inflammatory cell infiltration. â¢ Gastritis and gastropathy are associated with a wide range of aetiologies (causes). â¢ Gastritis is divided into acute and chronic forms. â¢ The commonest form of acute gastritis is acute haemorrhagic gastritis. â¢ Helicobacter-associated and autoimmune gastritis are the commonest types of chronic gastritis.
