What Are the Histological Features of Alcoholic Gastritis?
Alcoholic gastritis involves inflammation of the stomach lining due to excessive alcohol consumption. Histologically, this condition is marked by mucosal edema, infiltration of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and lymphocytes, and erosion of the gastric epithelium. Chronic gastritis can lead to atrophy of the gastric glands and may increase the risk of gastric cancer.
