Specialist Instruction for Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and Clinical Application of Lamb’s Tripe Extract and Vitamin B12 Capsule / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) significantly increase the risk of gastric cancer. Blocking the development of CAG and GIM would help to decrease the incidence of gastric cancer. It was revealed that eradication of Helicobacter pylori could reverse gastric mucosa atrophy. Recent studies reported that GIM could also be reversed to a certain extent. Clinical studies demonstrated that Lamb’s tripe extract and vitamin B12 capsule exhibited significant reversal effect on GIM. The present study systemically reviewed the diagnosis and treatment of CAG and clinical application of Lamb’s tripe extract and vitamin B12 capsule, and established the specialist instruction that would guide the reversal treatment of CAG and GIM.
