Normal Ambulatory 24-Hour Esophageal pH Values in Koreans -A Multicenter Study-
Ambulatory 24-hr esophageal pH monitoring is considered the gold standard for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease. The aim of this study was to establish normal values for gastroesophageal acid exposure in healthy Koreans. Fifty healthy volunteers (24 males and 26 females; mean age, 45 yr) without reflux symptoms and without reflux esophagitis or hiatal hernia on upper endoscopy underwen...
متن کاملEsophageal and Gastric Diseases Ambulatory 24 - hour Esophageal pH Monitoring
The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasing and if left untreated can lead to significant patient morbidity and even death. The disease results from the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the distal esophagus causing symptoms in most and subsequent mucosal damage in some. Several investigations can be used to confirm the diagnosis, but most are dependent on the p...
متن کامل24 hour ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring in uncomplicated Barrett's oesophagus.
The aim of this study was to compare acid reflux in 16 patients with uncomplicated Barrett's oesophagus with 37 patients with reflux oesophagitis and 10 control subjects of comparable age. All patients had 24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring within one week of endoscopy. The controls differed significantly from the other groups in all indices of reflux but there was no difference between the Barre...
متن کاملResearch on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Based on Dynamic Features of Ambulatory 24-Hour Esophageal pH Monitoring
Ambulatory 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring has been considered as the gold standard for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in clinical application, static parameters are widely used, such as DeMeester score. However, a shortcoming of these static variables is their relatively high false negative rate and long recording time required. They may be falsely labeled as nonreflux...
متن کاملHow to Interpret Ambulatory 24 hr Esophageal pH Monitoring
Newer developing techniques for esophageal functional testing such as wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are currently available. However, ambulatory 24 hr esophageal pH monitoring is still widely used and provides quantitative data on esophageal acid exposure and the ability to correlate symptoms with acid exposure events. To properly analyze the result of pH monit...
