Dyspepsia syndrome associated with chronic gastritis is perhaps the most common problem faced by gastroenterologist. In order to develop a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy, it is necessary to determine the type of dyspepsia to relieve clinical symptoms, identify the presence of comorbidities that may impact the development and course of dyspepsia, and to reveal structural changes in the mucous membrane to detect chronic gastritis.
