Core Tip

Core Tip: Chronic atrophic gastritis is a chronic disease featured by the gradual disappearance of normal glands after being damaged repeatedly. We conducted a meta-analysis using Revman 5.4, and the study showed that Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (HQT) can effectively improve the symptoms of chronic atrophic gastritis and enhance patients’ quality of life. We advocate the integration of traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice for treating diseases, and our research provides theoretical support for the clinical use of HQT in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis.
