Usefulness of Serum Pepsinogen and Gastrin as the Predictive Biomarker of Atrophic Gastritis, Intestinal Metaplasia and Gastric Cancer in Korea
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
It is well-known that atrophic gastritis is a major risk factor for gastric cancer, which leads to variations in the serum levels of gastrin, pepsinogen (PG) I, and PGII. We want to assess the effects of age, sex, and Helicobacter pylori status on pepsinogen (PG) level for atrophic gastritis and whether gastric atrophy based on the PG test would be improved after
- pylori eradication.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the change of pepsinogen level before and after H. pylori eradication [baseline and 6 months]
to compare the change of the pepsinogen level before and after H. pylori eradication and evaluate the correlation between the pepsinogen level and the atrophic gastritis
