| description | Several studies have conclusively established an association between upper gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric cancer and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection; thus, it is important to assess H. pylori infection based on endoscopic findings. The Kyoto classification of gastritis is a classification that comprehensively describes the association between an individual’s H. pylori infection status and endoscopic findings. Characteristic endoscopic findings in uninfected individuals include a regular arrangement of collecting venules, fundic gland polyps, and red streaks, among other such features. Characteristic endoscopic findings in patients with current H. pylori infection include diffuse and spotty mucosal erythema, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged or tortuous folds, secretion of sticky mucus, mucosal nodularity, foveolar hyperplastic polyps, and/or xanthomas. Characteristic endoscopic findings in previously infected individuals include patchy and map-like mucosal erythema. This classification can reflect the risk of gastric cancer and can benefit primary care physicians, as well as expert endoscopists owing to its easy applicability in routine clinical practice. |
