[Does the secretin/pancreozymin test require a correction for volume loss?].

Abstract

A sufficient number of good retrieval rates (median value 88.9%) could be achieved by means of radiovitamin B12 in 20 patients who underwent a secretin-pancreozymin test. Losses of this amount can be tolerated for practical purposes. As a rule, marker losses are caused by a flow-off into deeper intestinal sections. The marker technique raises a great number of unexplained issues.
