[Continuous intragastric pH-metry].
Ambulatory intragastric pH-metry is a suitable method of assessing gastric acidity under conditions of normal daily life. A detailed profile of intragastric acidity is given which is a reproducible individual characteristic. There is a circadian rhythm of gastric acidity in which pH rises during the night and after meals. pH-metry was used to determine the effects of H2-antagonists and antacids, and the results are the basis for the clinical use of intragastric pH-metry.
