Generation of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Symptoms During Esophageal Acid Infusion With Concomitant Esophageal pH Monitoring in Healthy Adults
BACKGROUND/AIMS The sensitivity of the upper and lower esophageal mucosa to acid is considered to differ. We investigated the relationship between pH changes in different sites of the esophagus and generation of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms during an acid infusion test. METHODS An acid infusion catheter was placed at 5 or 15 cm above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in 18 healthy volu...
متن کاملThe Management of Children with Gastroesophageal Reflux and Respiratory Symptoms
Research Motivation: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a well-recognised cause of respiratory symptoms in children. Confirming a diagnosis of reflux aspiration remains difficult, due to limitations in currently available investigations. The presence of pepsin in respiratory secretions has been documented in literature as a marker of reflux aspiration; however the correlation of pepsin a...
متن کاملLipid-Laden Alveolar Macrophages and pH Monitoring in Gastroesophageal Reflux-Related Respiratory Symptoms
Lipid-laden alveolar macrophages and pH monitoring have been used in the diagnosis of chronic aspiration in children with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). This study was conducted to prove a correlation between the detection of alimentary pulmonary fat phagocytosis and an increasing amount of proximal gastroesophageal reflux. It was assumed that proximal gastroesophageal reflux better correlates ...
متن کاملA Review of Esophageal pH Monitoring for the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children
Received January 5, 2000 Abstract Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common disease found in early childhood. It commonly presents with vomiting and feeding problems. However, it may involve other systems like respiratory system, growth failure. Twenty-four hours esophageal pH monitoring is a useful technique in diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux. Results of 24 hours esophageal pH monitoring ...
متن کاملRole of proximal gastric acid reflux in causation of respiratory symptoms in children with gastroesophageal reflux.
OBJECTIVES The association of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and respiratory disorders is well known but the mechanism is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the presence and severity of proximal gastric acid reflux in children having GER with or without respiratory symptoms. METHODS 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring with a dual pH probe placed in the proximal and distal esophagus was pe...
