title: [Is basal hypersecretion an indication of the presence of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome?].
abstract: Twenty patients with gastric basal hipersecretion over 15 mEq/hr and a suspicion on a Z-E syndrome or gastrinoma were studied by means of histamin gastric analisis, calcium test and measurement of lower esophageal sphincter pressures. In none of them a pancreatic tumour was found at operation, being their post-operative course normal up to a 60 months follow-up. The use of these everyday techniques is proposed for medical centers which have no facilities for gastrin radioimmunoassay techniques.
