Gastritis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the stomach lining. This condition can manifest in various forms, from mild and asymptomatic cases to severe presentations associated with significant morbidity. The current classification of gastritis is based on time course (acute versus chronic), histological features, anatomical distribution, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Advancements in diagnosis and treatment options have changed the medical management. Screening guidelines for evaluating patients with dyspepsia to identify iron-deficiency anemia facilitate the early detection of gastritis and its progression to premalignant atrophy and dysplasia. This activity describes the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, histopathology, evaluation, and recommended management of gastritis to enhance clinical competence when delivering patient care. An interprofessional healthcare team, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and public health experts, is crucial in reducing incidence and improving clinical outcomes by ensuring adherence to treatment and implementing effective screen-and-treat programs. The comprehensive understanding of gastritis fosters effective communication and collaboration among interprofessional healthcare teams, leading to the early detection of premalignant lesions and improved clinical outcomes.
