Gastritis, Chronic gastritis

Chronic Hypertrophic Gastritis In The Dog

  • Clinically see anorexia, weight loss, anaemia and associated hepatic disease.
  • Associated with protein loss into gut.

Pathology

  • Hyperplasia of mucosa.
    • Mucosa thrown up into folds.
    • Reduced numbers of parietal cells and increased numbers of goblet cells.

Chronic Atrophic Gastritis In The Dog

  • Aetiology uncertain.
  • Grossly: (may be difficult to appreciate)
    • Reduced mucosal thickness.
    • Loss of rugae.
  • Histologically
    • Mucosal thinning.
    • Loss of gastric glands.
    • Diffuse inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells.
    • Fewer eosinophils in lamina propria.
