Helicobacter pylori and gastroesophageal reflux disease
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of the review is to discuss key studies conducted on the intriguing relationship between Helicobacter pylori and gastroesophageal reflux disease. RECENT FINDINGS Epidemiological studies have repeatedly described a negative association between H. pylori infection and erosive esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, but not between H. pylori...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori, proton pump inhibitors and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Proton pump inhibitors have become of pivotal importance for the treatment of GERD. The purpose of this paper is to review the interaction between Helicobacter pylori and PPIs in the treatment of GERD. H. pylori exaggerates the acid suppressive effects of PPIs. During treatment with these drugs, H. pylori-positive subjects thus have a higher intragastric pH than H. pylori-negative subjects. The...
متن کاملEffects of Helicobacter pylori eradication on gastroesophageal reflux disease.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Helicobacter pylori infection appears to be a protective factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, H. pylori is associated with the subtype of esophageal carcinoma, and long-term proton-pump inhibition usage would cause gastric atrophy in patients with persistent H. pylori infection, which is a precancerous lesion. The relationship between H. pylori infecti...
متن کاملDoes Helicobacter pylori infection contribute to gastroesophageal reflux disease?
Helicobacter pylori organisms that infect the stomach conceivably could contribute to esophageal inflammation in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) through any of at least three potential mechanisms: 1) by causing an increase in gastric acid secretion; 2) by spreading to infect the gastric-type columnar epithelium that occasionally can line the distal esophagus; and/or 3) by s...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori infection in pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) refers to the very common and constantly increasing conditions where reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus leads to development of characteristic symptoms. The esophagus, LES and stomach can be envisioned as single functional unit controlled by neuro-hormonal factors. The abnormalities that contribute to GERD can start in any component of this unit...
