Gastric acid secretion in pancreatic disease.
Gastric acid secretion studies were carried out in 48 patients with pancreatic disease and in 20 control subjects. The mean basal and maximal outputs were lower in the patients than in control subjects. The present study indicates that such patients are not likely to suffer from gastric hypersecretion and peptic ulceration.
