8. Diagnosis

Medical history and reported symptoms are the most common methods by which doctors diagnose gastritis. A biopsy during an upper endoscopy can indicate the presence of pangastritis. The pathologist looks for a red lining and inflammation. Lab analysis can identify white blood cells, mostly leukocytes. Active bleeding in some areas, and pitted sores, can indicate erosive gastritis.
