Hypergastrinemia

Abstract: Gastrin is an important hormone of the digestive system, which assists gastric acid secretion. It may be pathologically elevated in conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, or due to common medications such as proton pump inhibitors. In this review we provide an overview of the pathophysiology and medical causes of hypergastrinemia, diagnostic testing and clinical consequences of chronic hypergastrinemia.

“…A high level of secondary bile acid has been shown to cause toxic, inflammatory, and DNA damaging effects on liver cells and bile duct cells, leading to HCC and cholangiocarcinoma . The generally weaker associations observed for H2RAs could reflect the weaker acid suppression and the less marked effect on gastrin associated with these medications . Alternatively, various features of the observed association do not support a causal interpretation including the lack of dose‐response (the most marked association was seen for less than 6 prescriptions), the possibility of confounding by indication, and the possibility of reverse causation (suggested by the attenuation of associations when prescriptions in the period prior to diagnosis where removed).…”

“…Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine‐2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) are widely prescribed medications, used primarily for the treatment of peptic ulcers, dyspepsia, and gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Despite their widespread use, there have been concerns about potential adverse effects of PPIs and H2RAs potentially caused by a range of mechanisms including the reduced absorption of nutrients, hypergastrinemia and the overgrowth of bacteria (due to lower stomach acid levels) . Many studies have investigated the effect of PPIs and H2RAs on the stomach, and particularly on gastric cancer risk .…”

“…Hypergastrinemia is reported to be caused by other several factors such as Helicobacter pylori , or H. pylori- related atrophic gastritis, autoimmune gastritis, renal failure, gastrin-producing tumor, and so on [1, 12-15]. Japanese serum gastrin levels are thought to be higher because of the high prevalence of H. pylori infection and atrophic gastritis compared to Western people, although the basic gastrin levels decreased with the decline of H. pylori prevalence in recent years, especially in the younger generation [16].…”

“…Patients with atrophic gastritis are known to develop hypergastrinemia. Destruction of parietal cells in atrophic gastritis leads to profound hypochlorhydria which induces G-cell (gastrin-producing) hyperplasia and consequently hypergastrinemia [19, 20]. Hypergastrinemia from underlying atrophic gastritis may be a possible mechanistic link in the association of GAVE with atrophic gastritis.…”
