Typical symptoms of chronic gastritis include upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, acid reflux, and nausea. Additional manifestations may include fatigue, decreased appetite, and glossitis. Some individuals may remain asymptomatic, while a minority may develop anemia due to chronic atrophic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastric mucosa caused by multiple etiologies, with *Helicobacter pylori* infection being the most common cause.
