Kyoto global consensus report on Helicobacter pylori gastritis and its impact on Chinese clinical practice

Abstract

The Kyoto global consensus report on Helicobacter pylori gastritis has had a great effect on the field of H. pylori worldwide. For the first time H. pylori gastritis was defined entirely as an infectious disease and H. pylori-associated dyspepsia, as a new category of organic dyspepsia instead of functional dyspepsia, together with a proposed diagnostic algorithm. Accordingly, the report states that eradication of H. pylori should be first-line treatment for dyspepsia. Moreover, H. pylori eradication before development of pre-neoplastic changes is recommended to reduce the risk of more serious complications of H. pylori gastritis. Despite the recommendations of this new global consensus, the task of turning them into feasible and practical recommendations for individual countries will require them to become region-specific which requires further discussion.
