Abstract

Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammation of the gastric corpus/fundus mucosa leading to progressive atrophy of the oxyntic gastric glands (AOM) and their consecutive loss of function. Possible clinical consequences of AIG include iron deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia, gastric neuroendocrine tumors (gNET), and gastric adenocarcinoma. This article provides a review of interdisciplinary aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of AIG.
