Diagnosis

Often, a diagnosis can be made based on the patient's description of their symptoms, but other methods which may be used to verify gastritis include:

Blood tests:

Blood cell count

Presence of H. pylori

Liver, kidney, gallbladder, or pancreas functions

Urinalysis

Stool sample, to look for blood in the stool

X-rays

Endoscopy, to check for stomach lining inflammation and mucous erosion

Stomach biopsy, to test for gastritis and other conditions

Treatment

Antacids are a common treatment for mild to medium gastritis. When antacids do not provide enough relief, medications such as H₂blockers and proton-pump inhibitors that help reduce the amount of acid are often prescribed.

Cytoprotective agents are designed to help protect the tissues that line the stomach and small intestine. They include the medications sucralfate and misoprostol. If NSAIDs are being taken regularly, one of these medications to protect the stomach may also be taken. Another cytoprotective agent is bismuth subsalicylate[citation needed].

Several regimens are used to treat H. pylori infection. Most use a combination of two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor. Sometimes bismuth is added to the regimen.
