Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough is defined as night-time periods when gastrin pH falls below 4.0 for greater than 1h during administration of a proton pump inhibitor. This phenomenon is a serious problem for patients who require strict control of their gastric acid secretions. AIM: To investigate the prevalence of nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough in Japanese subjects during administration of rabeprazole, and to clarify the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough. METHODS: Thirty-one normal male volunteers were examined by ambulatory 24 h gastric pH monitoring four times: without medication, after a morning or an evening dose of 20 mg rabeprazole, and after administration of an H2-receptor antagonist at bedtime, in addition to the morning dose of rabeprazole. H. pylori infection was determined by the 13C-urea breath test and an assay for serum anti-H. pylori antibody. RESULT: Nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough was observed in 12 patients (39%) after the morning dose of 20 mg rabeprazole. In all cases, nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough was inhibited completely by administration of the H2-receptor antagonist at bedtime. Only one patient with nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough had H. pylori infection. CONCLUSION: The absence of H. pylori infection appears to be closely related to the occurrence of nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough during dosing with a proton pump inhibitor.
