The relationship of clinical and morphological characteristics of chronic gastritis with microelements deficiency

We aimed to analyze the interconnection of chronic gastritis clinicopathologic characteristics with the content of selenium, zinc and manganese in blood serum. It is stated that the concentration of the microelements being studied (mostly selenium) is the prognostic indication of prescription of inflammatory process in the mucous coat of stomach and its clinical activity (pain and dyspeptic syndrome intensity), and the degree of microelements deficiency increases proportionally with intensity augmentation of atrophic processes in stomach.
