Microscopic evaluation
Generally screen for gastritis, with neutrophils indicating acute gastritis and plasma cells indicating chronic gastritis.[1][2]
Also look for signs of reactive gastropathy which is a triad of:[3]
- Foveolar hyperplasia, generally seen as a tortuosity in the "neck" region of the gastric glands.
- Smooth muscle hyperplasia.
- Scant acute and chronic inflammatory cells.
