Gastrin Test in Pune

What is Gastrin Test

The Gastrin test measures the levels of the hormone gastrin in the blood. Gastrin is produced by cells in the stomach and stimulates the release of stomach acid. The test is performed by drawing blood from a vein in the arm and measuring the levels of gastrin. High levels of gastrin can indicate a variety of conditions, including gastrinomas (tumors that produce gastrin), pernicious anemia, and chronic gastritis.
