Abstract: Proton pumPinhibitor (PPI) is considered as the standard treatment for acid-related disorders.However,its long-term use, especially in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, would cause potential risks,such as hypergastrinemia along with reduced gastric acidity,hyperplasia of enterochromaffin cells (ECL), gastric neoplasms, rebound gastric acid hypersecretion when PPI treatment is stopped, increased oxyntic gastritis in patients with H.pylori infection, and the possible stimulation of growth of non-gastric tumours due to hypergastrinaemia.Each of these trends has led to numerous studies and evaluations on the potential risk-benefit ratio of the long-term use of PPIs, and countermeasures are being proposed for these problems.

Key words: proton pumPinhibitor, hypergastrinemia, gastrointestinal neoplasms
