	Zollinger-Ellison syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a disorder where increased levels of the hormone gastrin are produced, causing the stomach to produce excess hydrochloric acid.
		Often, the cause is a tumour of the pancreas producing the hormone gastrin.
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is caused by tumors usually found in the head of the pancreas and the upper small bowel.

	Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (Gastrinoma) Overview
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare digestive disorder caused by a tumor of the pancreas called gastrinoma.
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is caused by a tumor (or tumors) called gastrinoma that affects commonly the pancreas.
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome may also be a part of a larger condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia-I, an inherited form of cancer with tumors not only in the digestive tract, but also the pituitary glands and parathyroid.

	Surgery Helps Zollinger-ellison Syndrome Patients
		The researchers recommend that surgery should be offered to all patients with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome who do not also have a related disorder known as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 or metastatic disease.
		Hormone-producing tumors called gastrinomas were detected during surgical exploration in 93% of patients, despite the fact that imaging studies were negative in approximately one third of patients.
		In contrast, none of the patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, a syndrome that features tumors in multiple endocrine organs, were disease-free, they add.

	Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
		The syndrome was first reported in 1955 by Zollinger and Ellison.
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome occurs in approximately 50% of the patients with multiple endocrine adenomatosis (M.E.A.) Type I. This syndrome includes hyperplasia and/or tumors of the parathyroids, pancreatic islets and pituitary.
		The diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is made on the demonstration of high serum gastrin levels.

	Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome - causes, gastrin, peptic ulcer, malignant tumour, symptoms
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is the name that doctors use to describe a collection of symptoms arising from the stomach and part of the small bowel called the duodenum (the part of the small intestine leaving the stomach), which occur because the stomach makes too much acid all the time.
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare disorder in which lumps (tumours) in the pancreas or, less often, in the wall of the duodenum secrete a chemical hormone (signal carried in the blood) substance (called gastrin) that causes the stomach to produce too much acid.
		The syndrome is serious and potentially life-threatening because the tumours producing the gastrin may spread.

		The ulcers that occur as part of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are typically more resistant to treatment than are other ulcers, can recur after initial treatment, are often numerous and may occur in unusual areas of your stomach or intestine.
		In Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, tumors form in the pancreas or duodenum — the upper portion of the small intestine.
		If you have Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, earlier detection and treatment may be able to halt the spread of any malignant tumors to other organs or lymph nodes.

	What is Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
		Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a rare condition that causes severe stomach ulcers.
		Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome may occur at any age, but it is more likely to appear between the ages of 30 and 60 years old.
		In very severe cases of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, the entire stomach may have to be surgically removed.

		Thus, Cushing's syndrome is more common in patients with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome than was previously reported, occurring in 8 percent of all cases.
		Furthermore, Cushing's syndrome in patients with sporadic Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and in those with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 differ in incidence, cause, clinical severity, extent of gastrinoma, the need for therapy, and prognosis.
		All patients with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and all patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 should be screened for Cushing's syndrome.

	Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome -- eCureMe.com
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a disease process associated with the development of ulcers due to over secretion of gastrin.
		This causes an excess of acid to be produced, which results in ulcers.
		Once the diagnosis is made, the doctor should check the levels of other hormones that can sometimes be abnormal in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

	Zollinger Ellison Syndrome
		It is possible that the main title of the report Zollinger Ellison Syndrome is not the name you expected.
		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is characterized by the development of a tumor (gastrinoma) or tumors that secrete excessive levels of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates production of acid by the stomach.
		In approximately 25 percent of cases, ZES occurs in association with a genetic syndrome known as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1).

		Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition that causes tumours to develop in the pancreas.
		These tumours are cancerous in half of all cases, and they secrete a hormone called gastrin that provokes the stomach into over-producing gastric acid.

		Although biologically-derived porcine secretin is approved for the diagnosis of Zollinger–Ellison Syndrome, it is no longer available in the United States.
		In the current study we compared secretin testing results in six confirmed Zollinger–Ellison Syndrome patients using the biologically-derived product and both synthetic products (human and porcine) in a three-way, randomized, single-blind Latin-squares crossover study.
		Statistically significant changes from baseline occurred at 1, 2 and 5 min for biologically-derived porcine secretin and at 2 and 5 min for both synthetic porcine and synthetic human secretin, in keeping with the expected time curve for positive tests.
