ABSTRACT

Background:

Serum pepsinogens (PGs),as a serologic marker for gastric mucosal lesions,can reflect the functional status of gastric mucosa. Helicobacter pylori (Hp)infection can cause pathological changes in gastric mucosa,and has been reported to influence the serum level of PGs.

Aims:

To explore the influence of Hp infection on diagnostic performance of serum PGs for gastric mucosal lesions.

Methods:

The endoscopic findings,biopsy pathology (including Giemsa staining) and serum PGs test in 1216 cases of patients from July 2014 to June 2015 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University were collected. Patients were categorized according to the pathological diagnosis and Hp status,and the results of serum PGs test were analyzed between different groups.

Results:

When patients were classified by gastric mucosal lesion,no significant differences were found in serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ,ratio for PGⅠ/ Ⅱ (PGR)and proportion of PG-positive (PGⅠ≤70 μg/ L and PGR < 3. 0)patients of different mucosal lesion groups with Hp-positive status (P >0. 05),whereas significant differences were observed in serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ,PGR and proportions of patients with PGⅠ≤70 μg/ L or PGR < 3. 0 of different mucosal lesion groups with Hp-negative status (P < 0. 05). When patients were classified by Hp status,PGⅠ level and PGR were lower and PGⅡ level and proportion of PG-positive patients were higher in Hp-positive patients than in Hp-negative patients in any of the gastric mucosal lesion groups (P < 0. 05 in part of the comparisons).

Conclusions:

Hp infection is strongly associated with the alterations in serum PGs test,which narrows the differences in PGs between groups with different gastric mucosal lesions and expands that within the same mucosal lesion, subsequently decreasing PGR and increasing the proportion of PG-positive patients. Patients negative for Hp infection may need new cut-off value of serum PGs test to improve the sensitivity for diagnosis of gastric mucosal lesion.
