The role of altered gastric emptying in the initiation of clinical dumping

I Hulme Moir. Scand J Gastroenterol. 1979.

Abstract

The disposition to dumping was measured in 42 patients by finding their STCO2 before gastric surgery. Twenty of these had a low STCO2 and were therefore predisposed to experience dumping symptoms. Only 10 of these patients actually experienced clinical dumping when reviewed 1 year after surgery. At that time gastric emptying studies showed that those with clinical dumping had rapid gastric emptying in combination with a previously measured low STCO2, in contrast to those who did not experience dumping symptoms.
