NSAIDS associated peptic ulcer disease
Last reviewed 01/2018

Previously NSAID-associated gastritis would have been classified as a Type C gastritis (chemical gastritis). This condition is characterised by the production of erosions and small intramucosal haemorrhages (which are most numerous in the gastric antrum).
