Figure 1 Kimura-Takemoto classification of endoscopic atrophy. Atrophic borders are indicated by a dotted line. A: C1 (Atrophy is limited to the antrum); B: C2 (Atrophy is limited to the minor area of the lesser curvature of the body); C: C3 (Atrophy exists in the major area of the lesser curvature of the body but does not extend beyond the cardia); D: O1 (Atrophy extends to the fundus over the cardia. Atrophic border of the body lies between the lesser curvature and anterior wall); E: O2 (Atrophic border of the body lies on the anterior wall); F: O3 (Atrophy is widespread with the border between the anterior wall and greater curvature).
