Abstract

The antral hormone gastrin is of special importance in recurrent ulcerations after gastric surgery. In the last few years several forms of hypergastrinaemia have been found; the differential diagnosis embraces the following:

  1. 1)

    Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

  2. 2)

    Antral G-cell hyperplasia

  3. 3)

    Retained antrum after Billroth II resection

  4. 4)

    Pyloric stenosis

  5. 5)

    Pernicious anaemia, atrophic gastritis, gastric carcinoma

  6. 6)

    Vagotomy

  7. 7)

    Chronic renal insufficiency

  8. 8)

    Short-bowel syndrome

  9. 9)

    Phaeochromocytoma.
