gastroscopy

What Conditions Can Gastroscopy Diagnose?

Gastroscopy, combined with histological examination, can diagnose a wide range of conditions:
- Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining, which can be identified by the presence of inflammatory cells.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Chronic reflux can lead to changes in the esophageal lining, detectable histologically.
- Celiac Disease: Characterized by villous atrophy in the small intestine, which can be confirmed through biopsy.
- Gastric and Esophageal Cancer: Malignant cells and structural changes in the tissue architecture can be identified through histological examination.
- Infections: The presence of pathogens like Helicobacter pylori can be confirmed through special stains or IHC.
