Abstract
Gastric acid secretion was studied in 19 patients with bilharzial hepatic fibrosis and in 19 healthy controls. The patients had significantly lower volumes and acid output than the control group. After splenectomy and vasoligation, the patients' gastric secretion did not increase significantly. Gastric secretion was similar in 19 patients with bilharzial hepatic fibrosis who had never experienced any episode of bleeding and in 19 who bled.Keywords
