Serum-gastrin in cirrhosis.
Fifty patients with cirrhosis of the liver had gastrin concentrations in serum above normal when measured in the fasting state. Hypergastrinaemia predominated in non-alcoholic cirrhosis. In both groups of patients, serum gastrin levels were higher in patients with inactive cirrhosis than when cirrhosis was slightly active.
