Ambulatory 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring and high resolution endoscopy distinguish patients with non-erosive reflux disease from those with functional heartburn
AIMS To assess the contribution of 24-h esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH (MII-pH) monitoring and high resolution endoscopy (HRE) with i-scan imaging in differentiating non erosive reflux disease (NERD) from functional heartburn (FH). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with heartburn from the Endoscopy Unit. NERD patients and FH patients were defined ...
متن کاملTailored therapy guided by multichannel intraluminal impedance pH monitoring for refractory non-erosive reflux disease
A relevant percentage of non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is refractory to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) treatment. Multichannel intraluminal impedance pH (MII-pH) monitoring should give useful pathophysiological information about refractoriness. Therefore, our aim was to assess whether this technique could be useful to guide a 'tailored' therapy in refractory NERD. We retrospectively recruite...
متن کاملFunctional heartburn and non-erosive reflux disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder in Western countries. For many years our attention has been focused on patients with erosive esophagitis, but in recent times we have realized that endoscopy-negative reflux disease is the most common presentation of this illness, affecting up to 70% of these individuals. Patients with the non-erosive form (NERD) are a heterogeneous gr...
متن کاملComparison of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring and reflux scintigraphy in pediatric patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux
AIM To evaluate the agreement of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (MII-pHM) and gastroesophageal reflux scintigraphy (GES) for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease. METHODS Seventy-five consecutive patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) underwent 24-h combined MII-pHM recording and one hour radionuclide scintigraphy during the course of the...
متن کاملDistinction between patients with non-erosive reflux disease and functional heartburn
Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) and functional heartburn (FH) are two different clinical entities and the clear distinction between the two forms is actually possible thanks to the use of impedance-pH monitoring. NERD is the more common manifestation of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), one of the most widespread chronic gastrointestinal disorders in Western countries. The absence of v...
