Serum gastrin in chronic pancreatitis.
Fasting serum gastrin and gastrin response to a protein meal were measured in a group of patients with chronic pancreatitis and in controls. No significant differences were found between the two groups of subjects. In patients with chronic pancreatitis no relation was found between gastrin release and the severity of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.
