چکیده

We studied acid secretory responses to exogenous pentagastrin and to exogenous and endogenous gastrin in 12 stable cirrhotic subjects with portacaval shunt, 12 unshunted cirrhotics, and 12 normal subjects. Basal and stimulated serum gastrin concentrations as well as basal and maximum acid outputs were similar in the three groups. At low doses of either exogenous pentagastrin or gastrin-17 (G17), cirrhotics with portacaval shunt secreted significantly greater amounts of gastric acid than unshunted subjects. After low doses of intragastric peptone, cirrhotics with portacaval shunt secreted significantly more acid than unshunted cirrhotics and normal subjects. At each measured serum gastrin concentration after either exogenous G17 or intragastric peptone meals, cirrhotics with portacaval shunt secreted more acid than the unshunted control groups and their dose-response curve was significantly shifted to the left. Thus, in cirrhotic patients with portacaval shunt, gastric acid secretion is abnormally sensitive to both exogenously administered or endogenously released gastrin.

Hypergastrinaemia in cirrhosis of liver.

The basal acid output (BAO), post-pentagastrin acid output (MAO), fasting and post-prandial gastrin levels in 40 patients with proven cirrhosis of the liver were compared with those in 20 normal controls. The mean BAO and MAO were significantly lower than normal, the mean fasting gastrin level was significantly higher than normal, and the postprandial gastrin response was significantly increase...

Background and purpose: H. pylori infection in the stomach is the first major cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma (MALT). Evaluation of the infection eradication is important. H. pylori infection is associated with gastric glands dysfunction such as increased serum gastrin and increased secretion of Pepsinogen. In recent years, the measurement ...

The Effects of Cholestasis and Cirrhosis on Gastric Acid and Pepsin Secretions in Rat: Involvement of Nitric Oxide

Objective(s) The liver has major role in the organism homeostasis, interactions with other systems, synthesis and metabolism of bile production, drug detoxification and hormone inactivation. Cholestasis can be defined as an impairment of the bile flow which can lead to hepatocytes necrosis and finally cirrhosis. Some studies reported a gastric acid secretion reduction in cirrhotic subjects, wh...

Peptic Ulcer and Gastric Secretion in Patients with Liver Disease.

Patients with hepatic cirrhosis may bleed into the gut not only from oesophageal varices, but also from a chronic peptic ulcer or erosive gastritis (Palmer and Brick, 1953). It may thus be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of gastrointestinal haemorrhage in patients with hepatic cirrhosis, especially as it is generally agreed that there is a high incidence of peptic ulcer in such patients. ...

Effect of esophagus distension on gastric blood flow, gastrin and somatostatin secretion in rat

Abstract Introduction: There are many studies about the inhibitory effect of the esophageal distention (ED) on gastric motility. Recently, it has been shown that ED decreases the gastric secretions. It is well established that the inhibitory effect of ED is mediated by activation of vago-vagal inhibitory reflex. However, there is not any investigation about the effect of the reflex on the gast...
