  • Title: Gastric morphology and serum gastrin levels in pernicious anaemia.
    Author: Lewin KJ, Dowling F, Wright JP, Taylor KB.
    Journal: Gut; 1976 Jul; 17(7):551-60. PubMed ID: 964688.
    Abstract:
    Mucosal biopsies from multiple sites in the stomachs of 21 patients with pernicious anaemia have been examined. The histological changes almost always involved the entire gastric mucosa, including that of the pyloric antrum. Metaplastic changes were almost universal and consisted of intestinal metaplasia in the body and antrum and pyloric metaplasia in the body. The severity of the pyloric metaplasia was such as to make the distinction between body and antrum on biopsy impossible. No relationship was found between serum gastrin activity and the histological appearances of the gastric antrum or body.
