Active
Immunological activity can be determined by double antibody sandwich chemiluminescence immunoassay.
Alternative Names
PCA, PGI, Pepsinogen I, Pepsinogen A, Pepsin A, Gastricsin
Description
Serum levels of pepsinogen and gastrin are parameters that can be used as biomarkers for gastric mucosa. Pepsinogen A (PGA) which as ahydrolyzed protein is secreted only by the chief cells of the corpus, and its serum level decreases with increasing grade of the corpus atrophy (loss of oxyntic glands). It is also an indirect measure of the corpus mass.Pepsinogen A, pepsinogen C (PGC), PGA/PGC ratio, and gastrin, as screening tests for precancerous lesions: atrophic chronic gastritis (ACG) or Helicobacter pylori-related corpus-predominant or multifocal atrophy. Indeed, H. pylori infection normally progresses from the antrum to the corpus and, consequently, atrophy is more common in the antrum or both the antrum and the corpus than in the corpus alone.
