Gastrin, Anti-helicobacter Pylori and Pepsinogen Diagnostic Accuracy Study
Sponsor: Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland
Summary
This research study is taking place to find out if a simple blood test can diagnose inflammation in the stomach. Prolonged inflammation in the stomach can lead to Ulcers and even Cancer in the long run. Currently, a camera test is needed to identify inflammation in the stomach. The method being tested in this study may be able to do this using just a pinprick of blood. If this test proves to be good at diagnosing inflammation in the stomach with just a pinprick of blood, it may be used in the future to decide who actually needs to have a full camera test done or not. This could really improve the waiting lists for these camera tests in the future. It may also mean that we can identify problems at an earlier stage.
Official title: Diagnostic Performance of Combined Assays for Gastrin-17, Pepsinogen and Anti-helicobacter Pylori Antibodies for Diagnosing Gastric Atrophy.

Panel of biomarkers including Gastrin 17, pepsinogen 1 and 2, and anti-helicobacter pylori antibodies.
This study will be assessing the diagnostic accuracy of this panel of biomarkers for diagnosing gastric atrophy in the Irish population for the first time. This reflects the assessment of these biomarkers in diagnosing gastric atrophy in a low-risk Western population.
