Mistakes in the management of chronic gastritis and how to avoid them

Mario Dinis-Ribeiro, Pierluigi Fracasso

Summary

AI Generated

This material addresses common mistakes in managing chronic gastritis, focusing on distinguishing when the condition requires intervention versus when it can be left alone, and clarifying the misuse of terminology when symptoms are confused with diagnosis.

  • Chronic gastritis occurs when inflammatory infiltrate is present in the gastric mucosa, caused by diverse factors including food, bacteria (particularly Helicobacter pylori), and some viruses.
  • The inflammatory infiltrate may not cause disease itself, but in some cases gastritis evolves into atrophic gastritis, ulcers, or gastric cancer.
  • Many patients and some clinicians misuse the term chronic gastritis to describe dyspepsia symptoms, leading to confusion between a symptom and a diagnosis.
  • Clinicians need to distinguish when gastritis is harmless and can be left alone versus when further action is required, to ensure adequate management while reducing over treatment.

Abstract

Chronic gastritis is a common condition that occurs when an inflammatory infiltrate is present in the gastric mucosa. Diverse factors can cause such inflammation to develop, including food, common bacteria (particularly Helicobacter pylori) and even some viruses. Although the inflammatory infiltrate itself may not cause a disease per se, in some cases gastritis will evolve into atrophic gastritis, ulcers or gastric cancer. Clinicians therefore need to be aware of when gastritis is a harmless condition that can be left alone and when further action is required. In addition, many patients and some clinicians use the term ‘chronic gastritis’ to describe symptoms, mostly those of dyspepsia. This misuse of the terminology can lead to the erroneous conclusion that a diagnosis is being discussed and not a symptom. Here we address these mistakes and some of the others that are frequently made when managing patients with chronic gastritis. We discuss how to avoid making the mistakes to ensure that patients are managed adequately while reducing over treatment.

Abstract

Abdominal distension and bloating are among the most frequently misunderstood complaints in gastroenterology. They are often used as interchangeable terms, a conceptual mistake that continues to drive diagnostic errors and ineffective treatment. According to Rome IV, bloating and distension may represent either a primary disorder of gut–brain interaction (DGBI) or occur as symptoms with other DGBIs, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD) or functional constipation (FC).

Abstract

Peritoneal malignancies represent a complex and often misjudged clinical challenge. Historically synonymous with a terminal diagnosis, the advent of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) radically altered the prognosis for selected patients. However, progress has been jeopardised by a series of recurring and preventable errors in diagnosis, staging, and treatment selection. This article delineates the ten most critical pitfalls in managing peritoneal surface malignancies. For each pitfall, we provide evidence-based explanations, concrete clinical examples, and strategic recommendations for avoidance. We emphasise the pivotal role of early multidisciplinary discussion, precise imaging, and timely referral to high-volume expert centres to optimise patient outcomes and offer curative intent where previously there was none.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains an important global health concern. It is estimated that there are approximately 50 million people infected with HCV globally, with around 1 million new infections each year and about 242,000 deaths annually attributed to HCV-related complications. Most acute HCV infections (55–85%) become chronic due to the virus’s effective evasion strategies, with spontaneous clearance being rare once chronicity is established. This condition often progresses silently, with many individuals unaware of their infection until advanced liver damage has occurred. If left untreated, HCV can lead to severe complications, including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCV transmission occurs mainly through percutaneous exposure to infected blood. HCV can also spread from mother to infant (vertical transmission) and, less frequently, via sexual contact.1,2 In recent years, the introduction of oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), with remarkable safety and effectiveness profiles, has led to a sustained virological response (SVR) in virtually all (>97%) HCV-infected patients, regardless of HCV genotype or disease stage. However, significant barriers remain, such as issues with diagnosis, access to treatment and awareness of the disease.

Here, we discuss some of the misconceptions in HCV management and provide a practical management approach grounded in evidence and clinical experience.

Abstract

Ostomy management refers to the care and maintenance of an ostomy and involves various aspects to ensure the individual’s health, comfort, and quality of life. This should involve the patient, a close support system (family and/or friends), and a healthcare team, including ostomy nurses and healthcare professionals specialising in ostomy care.
