title: Histalog gastric analysis.
abstract: A histalog gastric analysis was done in 20 patients with gastroduodenal disorders and 12 subjects with non-ulcer dyspepsia who were used as controls. Due to overlap of secretory responses its use as a diagnostic tool is limited. About 46% patients with duodenal ulcer exceeded the upper limit of acid secretion of control subjects. Values for stimulated secretion in controls and the patients with gastric ulcer were the same. Endoscopy if possible is the investigation of choice for the diagnosis of gastroduodenal disorders and the secretory studies should be limited to patients under-going surgery for peptic ulceration.
