Superficial Gastritis is an inflammation disease of the mucosa of the stomach. The development of gastritis is caused by exogenous factors (prolonged nutritional imbalance, overeating, insufficiently varied diet, alcohol abuse, nicotine abuse, and other kinds of intoxication and infection) and endogenous factors (functional disorders of the nervous system, neural reflexes from other diseased organs, such as the intestine and the gall bladder). The form of gastritis is determined by the nature, the intensity, and the duration of the exposure to the irritant that caused the gastritis and also by the organism’s resistance and the occurrence of relapses.
