Atrophic gastritis, is the main consequence of long-standing Helicobacter pylori infection, and is linked to the development of gastric cancer. The severity of atrophic gastritis is related to the lifetime risk of gastric cancer development, especially in terms of its degree and extent of mucosal damage. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to assess the severity of atrophic gastritis, interfere with the disease progress, and reverse gastric mucosal atrophy. In the article, we demonstrated some methods (conventional endoscopy, modern endoscopic technology and noninvasive methods) that may help assess the severity of atrophic gastritis and select the reasonable treatment protocols.
萎缩性胃炎是长期幽门螺杆菌感染的主要后果，与胃癌的发生有关。萎缩性胃炎的严重程度与胃癌发展的终生风险相关，尤其是在黏膜损伤的程度和范围方面。因此，临床医生评估萎缩性胃炎的严重程度、干预疾病进展和逆转胃黏膜萎缩非常重要。在本文中，我们展示了一些可能有助于评估萎缩性胃炎严重程度并选择合理治疗方案的方法（常规内镜、现代内镜技术和非侵入性方法）。
