Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a rare form of tumour found in the pancreas or the upper part of the small intestine. The tumours produce the hormone gastrin, resulting in excess production of hydrochloric acid in stomach, which leads to peptic ulcers.

Symptoms
 Include stomach ache, draining in the digestive tract, retching, looseness of the bowels, shortcoming and weight reduction.
Diagnosis & Treatment

 Test for diagnosis are abdominal CT scan, endoscopic ultrasound, blood test, imaging scan and stomach acidity test. Treatments are focused on the tumours and ulcers, proton pump inhibitor drugs and histamine H2-receptor antagonists are used to slow down acid secretion. Surgery to remove the tumor or chemo therapy is the effective cure for ZES.
