Description
Zhongmian Zhang and coauthors chart in 2026 what the stomach lining looks like through an endoscope as autoimmune gastritis advances. In this disease the immune system destroys the acid-making region of the stomach, and blood markers cannot show how far the shrinkage has gone. A stage-by-stage map of scope findings was lacking.
Fifty-two Chinese patients meeting blood and tissue criteria were classed as early or late stage by how much acid-making lining remained. Standard and magnified imaging catalogued surface features in detail. The team also examined the strikingly frequent overlap with Barrett's esophagus, a change in the food pipe lining that needs watching.
