Pepsinogen II, low is important, it may be due to chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases, and needs to be given treatment as soon as possible.
Pepsinogen II is secreted by the gastric fundus secretory gland cell master cell. When gastric acid secretion increases, pepsinogen II will increase; when gastric acid secretion decreases, pepsinogen II will decrease accordingly.
Low pepsinogen II suggests that the secretion function of gastric sinus and gastric body is lowered, which should be taken seriously and may be caused by gastric diseases such as chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer.
Low pepsinogen II may also be caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, because damage to the gastric mucosa affects the secretion of gastric acid and reduces pepsinogen II.
Pepsinogen II is low, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, to clarify the cause of the disease as soon as possible treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
