Risk factors for developing gastric erosion include:

• Excessive alcohol consumption

• Stress
• Infections such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)

At Ichilov Hospital, our gastric erosion treatment specialists use a variety of diagnostic tools to accurately identify and assess the severity of gastric erosion. These tests may include:

• Fibrogastroduodenoscopy: A procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine the lining of the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract.

• Biopsy: A sample of tissue is taken from the stomach lining for further examination.

• Intragastric pH-metry: A test that measures the acidity of the stomach.

• Radiography: X-ray imaging of the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract.

• Electro Gastro Enterography: A test that measures the electrical activity of the stomach and intestines.

• Laboratory research: Blood tests and other lab work to help identify underlying causes of gastric erosion.
