What does this test Gastrin Test identify?

The Gastrin Test is a blood test that measures the level of gastrin in the blood. Gastrin is a hormone that helps regulate the production of gastric acid in the stomach. This test is used to help diagnose conditions such as gastrinoma (a type of tumor that produces excess gastrin), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a rare condition that causes excessive stomach acid production), and other disorders that affect stomach acid levels. Abnormal levels of gastrin can indicate the presence of these conditions and help guide treatment decisions.

Why is this test Gastrin Test taken?

  • Overview: The Gastrin Test is taken to measure the level of gastrin in the blood. Gastrin is a hormone that helps regulate the production of gastric acid in the stomach. Abnormal levels of gastrin can indicate various conditions affecting the stomach and intestines.
  • Indications: The test is commonly ordered to help diagnose conditions such as gastrinomas (tumors that produce gastrin), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (excessive gastrin production leading to ulcers), pernicious anemia (autoimmune condition affecting the stomach lining), and chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining).
  • Procedure: The test involves drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Fasting may be required before the test to obtain accurate results.
  • Interpretation: Gastrin levels can vary throughout the day, so multiple tests may be needed for an accurate diagnosis. High levels of gastrin may indicate gastrinoma or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, while low levels may suggest pernicious anemia or chronic gastritis.
  • Follow-Up: Depending on the results, further testing or imaging studies may be needed to confirm a diagnosis and determine the appropriate course of treatment.
