  • Title: Gastrin levels in chronic renal failure, hemodialysis and renal transplant patients.
    Author: Gokal R, Kettlewell M, Drexler E, Oliver DO, Morris PJ.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1980 Aug; 14(2):96-7. PubMed ID: 6996881.
    Abstract:
    Basal serum gastrin levels have been studied in chronic renal failure (CRF), hemodialysis (MHDT) and renal transplant patients. There was no significant difference between the levels in CRF and controls and between anephric and nephric MHDT patients. However, levels in transplant patients were lower than those in the other groups. There was no relationship between fasting gastrin levels and peptic ulceration in any of the groups studied. It is doubtful whether basal gastrin estimations are of much value in management of these patients.
