Gastritis refers to inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Acute gastritis is commonly caused by NSAIDs/aspirin use, H. pylori infection, alcohol, smoking, or stress. Clinical features include epigastric pain, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, or black tarry stools. Diagnosis involves endoscopy and biopsy. Treatment focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause, such as eradicating H. pylori infections or discontinuing NSAID use. Chronic gastritis can develop from repeated episodes of acute gastritis and increases the risk of gastric ulcers or cancer over time.
