Low zinc in autoimmune atrophic gastritis

Is having low zinc and high copper typical of autoimmune atrophic gastritis? Does the gastritis affect zinc absorption in particular or is it not correlated?

Thanks

Achlorhydria (lack of stomach acid) doesn't affect zinc absorption. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/269...

H. pylori infection (which causes gastritis) doesn't significantly affect copper levels. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

I don't have PA or gastritis (that I know of) but do have low zinc that seems to be causing low platelets, and Hashimoto's. Hope this helps.
