What are the complications of gastritis?
Anemia: H. pylori can result in gastritis or bleeding stomach ulcers, which diminish red blood cell numbers and result in anemia.
Pernicious anemia: Your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12 can be impacted by autoimmune gastritis. Pernicious anemia can develop if you don’t acquire enough B12 to produce enough healthy red blood cells.
Peritonitis: Stomach ulcers might get worse as a result of gastroenteritis. Stomach ulcers that penetrate the stomach wall might cause the contents to leak into the abdomen. Bacterial translocation, also known as peritonitis, is a serious infection that can be brought on by this rupture.
Stomach cancer: Growths in the stomach lining can be brought on by autoimmune illness and H. pylori-induced gastroenteritis. Your risk of stomach cancer rises as a result of these growths.
