Gastrin After Secretin Stimulation

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 82938

A set of blood measurements of gastrin, the hormone that tells the stomach to produce acid, taken before and after a dose of secretin is given through a vein. In most people secretin lowers gastrin, so a sharp rise instead points to a hormone-producing tumor as the cause of severe or repeated ulcers.
