Results: The longest duration of symptoms of chronic gastritis was (1 up to < 2 years), the most common cause was NSAIDS (65.9%) and H. Pylori induced gastritis by (50.6%). There was significant weak direct correlation between degree of gastritis (endoscope) and degree of gastritis (histopathology) before treatment (p- Value is 0.026) and after treatment (p- Value is 0.007) Also, there was highly significant (HS) improvement after treatment in degree and extent of chronic gastritis endoscopically and histopathologically as p- value
