Monitoring the follow-up of autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis using parietal cell antibodies and markers of gastric function by Maria Piera Panozzo, Antonio Antico, Nicola Bizzaro

“…However, the utility of measuring only the level of parietal cell autoantibodies in the follow-up of A-CAG does not appear to suffice. Recent evidence has suggested that, in monitoring A-CAG, parietal cell antibodies should be associated with an evaluation of gastric function through biochemical and hormonal tests, such as pepsinogens and gastrin 17. …”
