Idiopathic gastritis, 1981.
Diagnosis depends on examination of mucosal biopsy specimens taken by a biopsy tube of the Wood type. Uncomplicated gastritis causes no symptoms. The clinical importance of the disease depends on its complications, which may be very serious: hemorrhage from erosions, pernicious anemia, pancreatic maldigestion, gastric polyposis and gastric carcinoma.
