title: [Physiological and clinical implications of gastric pepsinogens].
abstract: This review deals with pepsinogen metabolism, physiological role, and clinical implications. Effects of various factors, e.g H. pylori, on pepsinogen levels are considered. It is concluded that non-invasive screening of gastric precancer conditions provides a cost-effective and efficacious approach to the prevention of this pathology.
