The use of gastrin radioimmunoassay for differentiating between the Zollinger--Ellison syndrome and common peptic ulcer is discussed. This technique makes it possible to detect the syndrome with greater certainty than measurement of gastric acid secretion. Other clinical disorders in which increased serum gastrin levels occur are pernicious anemia, chronic gastritis, achlorhydria, renal failure, and intestinal resection. (HLW)
