The Gastrin Stimulation by Secretin test helps in the diagnosis of conditions related to abnormal gastrin production, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the overproduction of gastrin. In individuals with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the administration of secretin does not suppress gastrin production as it does in normal individuals.
The Gastrin Stimulation by Secretin test is usually performed in a hospital or clinic setting, and the results are interpreted by a healthcare professional. It is considered a safe procedure, although there may be minor discomfort associated with the insertion of the intravenous line.
Overall, the test provides valuable information about the function of the stomach and can help in the diagnosis and management of certain gastrointestinal disorders.

| Test Details |
The Gastrin Stimulation by Secretin test is a medical procedure used to evaluate the function of the stomach and the release of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates the production of gastric acid. The test involves the administration of secretin, a hormone that inhibits gastric acid secretion, followed by the measurement of gastrin levels in the blood. During the test, the patient is usually asked to fast for a certain period of time before the procedure. An intravenous line is then inserted, and a baseline blood sample is taken to measure the initial gastrin levels. Secretin is then administered through the intravenous line, and additional blood samples are taken at regular intervals to measure gastrin levels. The test helps in the diagnosis of conditions related to abnormal gastrin production, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the overproduction of gastrin. In individuals with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the administration of secretin does not suppress gastrin production as it does in normal individuals. The Gastrin Stimulation by Secretin test is usually performed in a hospital or clinic setting, and the results are interpreted by a healthcare professional. It is considered a safe procedure, although there may be minor discomfort associated with the insertion of the intravenous line. Overall, the test provides valuable information about the function of the stomach and can help in the diagnosis and management of certain gastrointestinal disorders. |
