What is antritis?
What is antritis?
Noted in my endoscopy/colonoscopy notes is "mild antritis biopsies taken". What is antritis? Seriously cannot find a definition of this anywhere in relation to endoscopy or colonoscopy.... ?
Re: What is antritis?
Antritis is a non specific term for inflammation of any antrum. Antrum is a general term for any nearly closed cavity or chamber. Ex. Antrum of the stomach (gastric antrum). I suppose many things can cause inflammation. I would ask the doc what he thinks caused or is causing it and if it's anything to worry about?
Sorry that it's probably not much help.

Spelling error. It's enteritis. Mild inflammation of the intestine.

Re: What is antritis?
Thanks! I have a lot of coding and medical background in school... and this term didn't resonate!
Re: What is antritis?
There is such thing as Antritis, and it does have implications when referring to colonoscopy ect. . It may not be a typo error!

What are the "implications" when referring to a colonoscopy?
