In general, the normal range for gastrin levels is: 0-180 pg/mL (picograms per milliliter of blood) for adults (this may be higher in older adults)
What do elevated gastrin levels mean? Elevated gastrin levels are known as hypergastrinemia. Sometimes, hypergastrinemia means you have gastrin-secreting tumors (gastrinomas). These can occur in your pancreas or duodenum. Other times, hypergastrinemia can be a sign that something is inhibiting gastric acid in your stomach.
Normal findings. Adult: 0-180 pg/mL or 0-180 ng/L (SI units) [1] Elderly patients have higher gastrin levels. [1] Child: 0-125 pg/mL [1] Next: Interpretation.
Gastrin levels less than 100 pg/mL are observed so uncommonly in untreated gastrinoma patients with intact upper gastrointestinal anatomy as to virtually exclude the diagnosis. The majority (>60%) of patients with gastrinoma have very significantly elevated serum gastrin levels (>400 pg/mL).
Gastrin is a hormone that affects the levels of gastric acid in your stomach. Hypergastrinemia has many causes, including long-term use of PPIs and antacids, H. pylori infection, gastritis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Treatment involves managing the underlying cause.
Normal values are generally less than 100 pg/mL (48.1 pmol/L). Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.
The normal range is: 0 to 180 pg/mL for adults. Your levels may be higher if you are an older adult. People with ZE syndrome or G-cell hyperplasia usually have levels of gastrin in their blood that are quite high. But you could have ZE syndrome without high levels of blood gastrin.
Normal gastrin levels are considered to be less than 100 pg/ml. However, in some studies gastrin from 25 to 55 pg/mL is taken as the “normal” or “control” value. This is because participants are usually asked to fast in preparation for the study in order to obtain a baseline gastrin level.
Gastrin levels less than 100 pg/mL are observed so uncommonly in untreated gastrinoma patients with intact upper gastrointestinal anatomy as to virtually exclude the diagnosis. The majority (>60%) of patients with gastrinoma have very significantly elevated serum gastrin levels (>400 pg/mL).
Your provider may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of a problem linked to an abnormal amount of gastrin. This includes peptic ulcer disease. Normal Results. Normal values are generally less than 100 pg/mL (48.1 pmol/L). Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.
