We have made an analysis of correlation between Secretin Test and Retrograde pancreatography in 25 patients. Using Secretin Test, in these comparative evaluation we confirmed the predictive values of normality or pathological alteration of the gland obtained through functional exploration of the pancreon. In consequence it's correct to use this test as a first mean of establishing the presence of pancreatic pathologies.
Two cases of intrinsic factor deficiency with normal hydrochloric acid production are presented. Both patients had markedly reduced intrinsic factor secretion and substantial titers of type I (blocking) intrinsic factor antibodies. No parietal cell antibodies were recognized by immunofluorescence in either case. Three hypotheses are offered to explain these findings: (a) These patients have congenital intrinsic factor deficiency that remained in the preanemic phase until adulthood; (b) they have pernicious anemia detected at a stage before gastric mucosal atrophy and achlorhydria have occurred; or (c) they represent cases of a new syndrome characterized by isolated intrinsic factor deficiency.
