Reflects the morphological and functional status of gastric mucosa
Clinical significance of test
Pepsinogen I (PGI) and Pepsinogen II (PGII) are the main progastriscins in the stomach, of GA and GC cases, which closely reflect functional and morphological changes of the gastric mucosa. Serum pepsinogen(PG)I/II ratio has been widely used as “serological biopsy” for the screening of gastric cancer (GC) and atrophic gastritis (GA).
Steps of operation
Clinical application
- Screening for pepsinogen and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection
- Differentiation between pepsinogen and gastric ulcer
- Detection of pepsinogen and superficial gastritis
- Pepsinogen and gastric cancer screening
