[Gastric secretion in chronic erosive gastritis]

In 50 patients with erosive gastritis the basic and the post-pentagastrin secretion of hydrochloric acid or glycoproteids has been studied. The results obtained have been compared with that in healthy subjects. No significant differences between the both groups investigated have been noted. It has been stated that chronic erosive gastritis could be associated with normal, elevated or lowered hydrochloric acid secretion. The results are of value with regard to the choice of treatment but remain without significance for diagnostics.
