Radionuclide test for gastric bile reflux

I H Koven, N D Greyson, A Newman

    Canadian Journal of Surgery. Journal Canadien De Chirurgie
    |September 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study developed a new radioactive test to detect bile reflux in the stomach. High radioactive bile counts in gastric aspirates indicate abnormal bile gastritis, offering a more physiologic alternative to endoscopy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Bile gastritis is a condition where bile irritates the stomach lining.
    • Accurate detection of gastric bile reflux is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel radioactive tracer method for detecting gastric bile reflux.
    • To compare the efficacy of this new method with existing diagnostic techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous injection of technetium-99m-labeled pyridoxylideneglutamate (99mTc-PIDA).
    • Sequential gamma camera imaging to visualize bile ducts and gut activity.
    • Assaying radioactive counts in serial gastric aspirates from fasting subjects via nasogastric tube.

    Main Results:

    • Normal subjects showed extremely low radioactive counts in gastric aspirates.
    • Counts exceeding 50,000/min in gastric aspirates indicated abnormal bile reflux.
    • The method correlated with clinical history and gastroscopic findings.

    Conclusions:

    • The radioactive bile reflux test is a useful and sensitive adjunct for diagnosing bile gastritis.
    • This nuclear medicine approach is suggested to be more physiologic than endoscopy for assessing bile reflux.
