Abnormal findings in the basal gastric secretion test are considered nonspecific and must be evaluated in conjunction with the results of a gastric acid stimulation test. Elevated secretion may suggest different types of ulcers.
Gastric acid determination, also known as stomach acid determination, gastric analysis, or basal gastric secretion, is a procedure to evaluate gastric (stomach) function. The test specifically determines the presence of gastric acid, as well.
The purpose of the gastric acid determination is to evaluate gastric function by measuring the amount of acid as suctioned directly from the stomach. The complete gastric acid determination includes the basal gastric secretion test.
Reference values for the basal gastric secretion test vary by laboratory, but are usually within the following ranges: men: 1-5 mEq/h, women: 0.2-3.8 mEq/h.
This test, whether performed for basal gastric acid secretion, gastric acid stimulation, or both, requires the passage of a lubricated rubber tube, either by mouth or through the nasal passage, while the patient is in a sitting or.
Because both the basal gastric secretion test and the gastric acid stimulation test require insertion of a gastric tube (intubation) through the mouth or nasal passage, neither test is recommended for patients with esophageal.
Gastric acid is part of the "juices" produced by the stomach.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is one of the component of gastric acid (also called gastric juice). Other components include electrolytes and enzymes. So no, hydrochloric acid is NOT the same thing as gastric acid
Gastric acid.
