Gastritis Diagnostics and Procedures

- Tumor Marker Blood Test: A blood analysis that can be part of the initial assessment.
- MRI: Imaging of one area to examine abdominal structures in detail.
- Endoscopy: A key procedure for directly viewing the stomach lining and taking a biopsy if needed.
- Capsule Endoscopy: A patient swallows a small camera capsule. It provides visual data of the entire small bowel without sedation.
- Colonoscopy: This procedure checks the lower gastrointestinal tract to rule out other causes of symptoms.
- Biopsy: A tissue sample taken during endoscopy for laboratory analysis, which is a definitive diagnostic step.
For a complete workup, the clinic offers a structured package. The comprehensive diagnostic package typically costs around 2,500 EUR. It bundles several essential services for efficiency.

Non-Surgical Treatment Approach
Following diagnosis, treatment for gastritis is primarily medical and non-invasive. The focus is on identifying the root cause, such as H. pylori infection or bile reflux. Targeted medication and lifestyle changes are then prescribed. The procedures listed, like endoscopy, are often both diagnostic and therapeutic. They allow for immediate intervention during the exam if necessary.
