Overview
An elevated concentration of fasting serum gastrin level is diagnostic of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Secretin stimulation test is also used to diagnose Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome include:[1][2][3][4]
- Fasting serum gastrin level:
- Gastrin level ≥ 120 pg/mL
- For accurate results, gastric antisecretory medications should be stopped
- Serum calcium:
- Increased levels of serum calcium may suggest multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)
- Gastric acid secretion tests:
- Basal acid output
- Basal gastric secretory volume
- Gastric pH ≤ 2 is highly suggestive of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- Provocative tests:
