Antral gastritis primarily refers to a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa triggered by various etiological factors. Common causes include *Helicobacter pylori* infection, medication use, and autoimmune factors. Some patients with this condition remain asymptomatic, while others may experience dyspeptic symptoms such as decreased appetite, acid reflux, and dull epigastric pain.
