Find Answers for Persistent Digestive Concerns
When stomach pain, persistent ulcers, or unexplained digestive symptoms disrupt your life, finding clear answers becomes essential. The Gastrin Stimulation by Secretin Test offers the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained symptoms, and we’re here to provide the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
Understanding the Gastrin Secretin Test
This specialized test measures how your body responds to secretin, a hormone that normally suppresses gastrin production. In healthy individuals, secretin injection causes gastrin levels to decrease. However, in cases of Gastrinoma (a rare pancreatic tumour), gastrin levels paradoxically increase after secretin administration. This clear pattern provides your gastroenterologist with crucial diagnostic information that guides appropriate treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent or multiple stomach ulcers that don’t respond to standard treatment
- Severe, persistent heartburn and acid reflux
- Unexplained abdominal pain or discomfort
- Diarrhoea that doesn’t resolve with conventional treatments
- Family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)
- Previous elevated gastrin levels in blood tests
Early detection through this test can prevent complications and guide effective treatment strategies.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis transforms your healthcare journey. This test provides:
- Definitive Diagnosis: Clear confirmation or exclusion of Gastrinoma
- Treatment Guidance: Specific information that helps your doctor choose the most effective treatment approach
- Peace of Mind: Ending the uncertainty about your symptoms
- Prevention: Early detection helps prevent serious complications from untreated Gastrinomas
- Personalised Care: Results that enable targeted, individualised treatment plans
Understanding Your Results
Your results will clearly indicate whether your gastrin levels responded normally to secretin stimulation. A normal response shows decreased gastrin levels, while an abnormal response (increased gastrin) suggests possible Gastrinoma. Our expert team provides clear, easy-to-understand reports with guidance on next steps. Remember, abnormal results don’t automatically mean you have cancer – many conditions can affect gastrin levels, and your doctor will consider all factors in your diagnosis.
