The Indonesian Ministry of Health stated that currently, Indonesia is in fourth place as the country with the highest incidence of gastritis. Based on Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data in 2018, gastritis is one of the 10 most common diseases in hospitalized patients in Indonesia with 30,154 cases or 4.9%. The number of gastritis cases is considered quite high because the prevalence of cases is 274,396 out of the 258,704,900 total population of Indonesia. This study aims to explore the histopathological features of the gastric mucosa and the characteristics of patients with gastritis. This study used a descriptive method with retrospective data collection from the medical record archives of the MRCCC Siloam Semanggi Hospital during the period 2022. The research sample included all m edical records of patients with gastritis who underwent an endoscopic examination. Of the 252 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 59 patients (23.4%) were diagnosed with gastritis in the age range of 41 to 50 years. More women experience gastritis than men, with 137 patients (54.4%). In terms of histopathology, 171 patients (67.9%) were diagnosed with chronic non-active gastritis. From the assessment of the corpus and antrum, it was found that 121 patients (48%) had no atrophy, 249 patients (98.8%) had no intestinal metaplasia, and 248 patients (98.4%) had no Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, it is important to carry out an early examination and endoscopic examination so that medical treatment can be carried out as soon as possible.
