METHOD FOR EVALUATING DEGREE OF MUCOSAL ATROPHY OF ANTRAL PORTION AND/OR BODY OF STOMACH Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B10/02 G01N1/28 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: evaluating a degree of mucosal atrophy of an antral portion is enabled by morphological study of biopsy materials of the antral portion of stomach. A depth of a gland body of the antral portion is measured. A degree of mucosal atrophy of the antral portion is calculated by formula: Y=5.03-0.02X₁, where X₁ is the depth of the gland body of the antral portion. If observing Y ≤-1.6, a zero degree of mucosal atrophy of the antral portion is stated that is the absence of atrophy. If the Y value falls within -1.5-0.61, degree I is observed that is a slight degree of mucosal atrophy of the antral portion. The Y value being within 0.62 to 1.2 shows degree II that is a moderate degree of mucosal atrophy in the antral portion. If the Y value exceeds 1.2, degree III is detected that is a high degree of mucosal atrophy in the antral portion.

EFFECT: method provides more objective evaluation of a degree of mucosal atrophy of the antral portion ensured by developing estimated values in a numerical equivalent.
