title: [Morphofunctional parallels in patients with chronic gastritis].
abstract: The main method of chronic gastritis diagnostics today is morphologic study of biopsy materials obtained during the endoscopic study. However, morphologic data do not reflect the functional state of the stomach and, first of all, its acid production function. Certain restrictions of morphologic gastritis diagnostics are the small size of biopsy materials, problems with atrophy diagnostics in marked inflammatory infiltration and loss or metaplasia of specialized cells. Endoscopic pH-metry reflects impartially the state of the acid production function of the stomach, which helps not only to specify the diagnosis but also to choose the right therapy method and management tactics.
