Diagnosis of Gastritis

Diagnosis of Gastritis

Often, a diagnosis can be made based on the patient's description of his or her symptoms, but other methods which may be used to verify gastritis include:
  • Blood tests:
    • Blood cell count
    • Presence of H. pylori
    • Pregnancy
    • Liver, kidney, gallbladder, or pancreas functions
  • Urinalysis
  • Stool sample, to look for blood in the stool
  • X-rays
  • ECGs
  • Endoscopy, to check for stomach lining inflammation and mucous erosion
  • Stomach biopsy, to test for gastritis and other conditions
