Normal serum gastrin levels in patients with liver cirrhosis.
In 28 patients with cirrhosis of the liver, histologically confirmed by liver biopsy, serum gastrin concentrations were determined radioimmunologically afer an overnight fast. Mean value and standard deviation in the patients with cirrhosis (30.1 +/- 19.3 pg/ml) was not found to be significantly different from the mean value established in 275 normal subjects (39.7 +/- 21.3 pg/ml).
