Chronic gastritis is the persistent and insidious inflammation of the gastric lining. () has been identified as the most common cause of chronic gastritis and consequently elimination of can lead to its cure. This editorial explores the use of urinary metabolic profiles before and after eradication to identify biomarkers that can aid in prognosis and treatment. Despite providing promising insights, there are limitations such as a small sample size (17 patients), a narrow treatment period of 2 wk, and treatment heterogeneity, which raise concerns. Nevertheless, these findings have opened a gateway to enhancing the treatment and prognosis of chronic gastritis through urinary metabolomics.
慢性胃炎是胃黏膜的持续性隐匿性炎症。（）已被确定为慢性胃炎最常见的病因，因此消除（）可导致其治愈。本社论探讨根除前后尿代谢谱的应用，以识别有助于预后和治疗的生物标志物。尽管提供了有前景的见解，但存在样本量小（17例患者）、治疗期仅2周且治疗存在异质性等局限性，这引发了担忧。然而，这些发现为通过尿代谢组学改善慢性胃炎的治疗和预后打开了一扇门。
