Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ(PGⅠ), pepsinogen Ⅱ(PGⅡ), PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio(PGR), gastrin-17(G17) and Helicobacter pylori(Hp) antibody typing in the diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG).
Methods A total of 170 patients with chronic gastritis were divided into the CAG group(79 cases) and chronic non-atrophic gastritis(CNAG) group(91 cases).The changes of indicators were compared between two groups.
Results Ninety-two cases(54.12%) of 170 patients were positive for Hp.Compared with the control group, the Hp antibody positive rate, infection positive rate of type Ⅰ Hp, PGⅡ and G17 levels significantly increased(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01), while the PGR level decreased in the CAG group(P < 0.01).Compared with type Ⅱ Hp positive group, the expression levels of PGⅡ and G17 increased, while the PGR level decreased in the type Ⅰ Hp positive group(P < 0.05).The AUC of PGⅠ, PGⅡ, PGR, G17 and Hp antibody typing were 0.548, 0.606, 0.361, 0.660 and 0.589, respectively.The AUC of combined detection was 0.690.
Conclusions The level changes of PGⅡ, PGR, G17 and Hp antibody type can be used as the screening indicators of CAG, and the combined detection can provide a more reliable laboratory basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
