Feature of gastropathy in liver cirrhosis, unlike gastropathy occurring independently, were more significant intensity and prevalence in the stomach of erythematous changes of mucous membrane, associated with the formation of portal hypertension and coagulopathies and not correlated with the severity of inflammation on microscopic level.
