Is severe chronic gastritis dangerous?

Severe chronic gastritis is a common gastrointestinal disease that may cause serious damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to conditions such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The incidence of severe chronic gastritis is relatively high, and the condition may persist for a long period. Patients may experience symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, and in more severe cases, anemia and ascites may occur. Additionally, severe chronic gastritis may lead to gastrointestinal bleeding and even cause damage to organs such as the liver and lungs. Patients should undergo medical examination as early as possible and receive timely treatment.
