Relationship between endoscopic gastric atrophy according to Kimura - Takemoto classification and histopathological characteristics in H. Pylori infected patients

Background: Endoscopic gastric atrophy according to Kimura-Takemoto classification has been shown be closely related histopathological atrophy. Gastric and intestinal metaplasia are considered precancerous lesions that need assessed monitored for early detection of dysplasia cancer, especially in H. pylori infected patients. The aim this study was evaluate the associations between these endoscopic Kimura - Takemoto pathologic characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional conducted 72 dyspepsia patients at Hue University Medicine Pharmacy Hospital, assigned assessment testing positive. Assessing compared with (atrophy, metaplasia, dysplasia) modified Sydney system. Results: mean age 55.6 ± 13.13, male/female ratio 1.4/1.0. rate stage C1 37.5%, C2: 40.3%, C3: 9.7%, O1: 11.1% O3: 1.4%. On histo-pathology, antrum 81.9%, both body: 16.7%. antrum, body, body 36.1%, 2.5% 11.1%, respectively. low-grade 12.5% (9/72), high-grade 6.9% (5/72) 2 cases cancer. stages C2 C3 had a higher on histopathology than (91.7% vs 63%) O C (77.8% 30.2%) p < 0.05. Conclusion: degree histopathologic more severe atrophy, frequency histopathology. Evaluation is relatively simple strategy monitoring each patient chronic gastritis detect Key words: Atrophic gastritis, pylori,
