    Gastrin levels may be elevated if gastric acid secretion fails, causing an abnormally high stomach pH (achlorhydria). Measuring gastric pH alongside gastrin can identify if elevated gastrin is due to achlorhydria rather than other causes. Testing both gastrin and pH provides important context for understanding a patient's condition.

    If gastrin is elevated, gastric pH should also be measured as gastrin may also be

    elevated due to failure of gastric acid secretion (achlorhydria).
