Diagnostic value of serum pepsinogen C in patients with raised serum concentrations of pepsinogen A.

Estimation of serum pepsinogen.

Accuracy of screening for gastric cancer using serum pepsinogen concentrations.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The characteristics of pepsinogen screening for gastric cancer were investigated to establish a suitable cut off point for identifying gastric cancer, using endoscopic diagnosis as the yardstick. SUBJECTS/METHODS Serum pepsinogen concentrations were measured in 5113 subjects who were also screened for gastric cancer by endoscopy. The cut off point for pepsinogen was determined...

Link between Serum Pepsinogen Concentrations and Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Findings

The serum pepsinogen (PG) assay findings are correlated with the status of Helicobacter pylori infection, but there are controversies on the link with upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopic findings. The aim of this study was to determine the significance of a serum PG assay for correlating with endoscopic findings in H. pylori-seroprevalent adult population. Korean adults who visited for a he...

Serum pepsinogen I concentrations in peptic ulcer patients in relation to ulcer location and stage.

To investigate the relation of the serum group I pepsinogen (PG I) concentration to the location of gastric ulcers and chronicity of peptic ulcers, ulcer patients (n = 322) were compared with endoscopically normal subjects (n = 174). The mean PG I concentration was significantly higher in male control subjects (n = 90) than in female control subjects (n = 84). In male patients with ulcers in th...

correlation of changes in serum pepsinogen 1, pepsinogen 2 with helicobacter pylori eradication

background h. pylori infection in the stomach was 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 was associated with gastric glands dysfunction such as increased serum gastrin and increased secretion of pepsinogen. in recent years the measurement of serum gastri...
