Chronic gastritis is classified based on the severity of the condition and the anatomical location of the lesions. According to severity, gastritis is categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. Based on the anatomical site of inflammation, it may be classified as corpus gastritis, antral gastritis, fundal gastritis, and others. Additionally, gastritis can be divided into two main types: atrophic gastritis and non-atrophic gastritis.
