Abstract
We describe a patient with Ménétrier's disease in whom acute administration of ranitidine reduced gastric protein loss more effectively than cimetidine or propantheline. This patient went into remission following a course of ranitidine. We reviewed the literature on remissions in Ménétrier's disease occurring without surgery. More detailed studies of various anti-secretory agents on individual patients are required to determine whether or not they are truly efficacious.Keywords
