Any injury to the gastric or duodenal mucosa results in epithelial damage and repair. The term gastritis or duodenitis reflects inflammation associated with mucosal injury. Gastritis and duodenitis may be caused by infectious agents (such as Helicobacter pylori), autoimmune disorders, or hypersensitivity reactions. It can also result from drugs or extreme stress reactions.
