Atrophic gastritis also known as Type A or Type B Gastritis more specifically is a process of chronic inflammation of the stomach mucosa , leading to loss of gastric glandular cells and their eventual replacement by intestinal and fibrous tissues. As a result, the stomach s secretion of essential substances such as hydrochloric acid , pepsin , and intrinsic factor is impaired, leading to digestion digestive problems, vitamin B12 deficiency vitamin B sub 12 sub deficiency , and megaloblastic anemia . It can be caused by persistent infection with Helicobacter pylori , or can be autoimmune in origin. Those with the autoimmune version of atrophic gastritis are statistically more likely to develop gastric carcinoma , Hashimoto s thyroiditis , and achlorhydria . Type A gastritis primarily affects the body fundus of the stomach, and is more common with pernicious anemia.
