M-14018 Pepsinogen I (PG I) Quantitative Test Kit
Clinical Significance: Serum pepsinogen levels reflect the morphology and function of different parts of the gastric mucosa. PGI (Pepsinogen I) serves as an indicator of the functional status of gastric acid-secreting cells. Increased gastric acid secretion leads to elevated PGI levels, while decreased secretion or atrophy of the gastric mucosal glands results in lower PGI levels.
Product Specifications: 20 tests per box
Product Shelf Life: Sealed in an aluminum foil bag, the product is valid for 18 months. Once opened, the aluminum foil bag should be used within 1 hour.
Product Storage: Store the test cards at 2°C to 30°C.
Usage Scenarios:
- Hospitals and Gastroenterology Departments: For diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to gastric acid secretion, such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastric atrophy, by measuring PGI levels.
- Primary Care Clinics: For routine screening of patients with symptoms of gastric disorders to assess gastric mucosal health.
- Diagnostic Laboratories: For routine testing of serum PGI levels as part of comprehensive assessments of gastric function.
- Cancer Screening Programs: For early detection of gastric mucosal changes that may indicate a higher risk of gastric cancer.
Suitable Countries and Regions:
- Developed Countries: United States, Canada, Western Europe (e.g., Germany, France, UK), Japan, Australia, etc., where advanced diagnostic tools are widely used for comprehensive gastric health management and early detection of gastric disorders.
- Emerging Markets: China, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc., where healthcare systems are improving diagnostic capabilities for gastric health and expanding access to modern diagnostic tools.
- Global Health Programs: International health initiatives focused on enhancing the detection and management of gastric disorders in low-resource settings.
