Abstract

We sought to study the relationship between serum pepsinogens and different histopathologic features of Helicobacter pylori-related chronic gastritis. One hundred forty-nine consecutive dyspeptic patients underwent endoscopy with biopsies; serum pepsinogens I and II were measured by immunoassay. Serum levels of pepsinogens (sPG) were significantly correlated with H. pylori density both of the corpus (sPGI: r = 0.32, P < .001; sPGII: r = 0.56, P < .001) and antrum (sPGI: r = 0.41, P < .001; sPGII: r = 0.43, P < .001) as well as with chronic inflammation (sPGI: r = 0.26, P < .001; sPGII: r = 0.49, P < .001) and activity (sPGI: r = 0.38, P < .001; sPGII: r = 0.50, P < .001) in the antrum. Only sPGII was correlated with chronic inflammation (r = 0.44, P < .001) and activity (r = 0.40, P < .001) in the corpus. SPGI was inversely correlated with atrophy (r = –0.33, P < .001) and intestinal metaplasia (r = –0.37, P < .001) in the corpus. sPGII levels could be considered as markers of gastric inflammation all over in the stomach. sPGI levels are inversely related to atrophic body gastritis.
