Juice Test for Identification of Nonerosive Reflux Disease in Heartburn Patients
Background/Aims Evaluation of esophageal clearance by orange juice swallowing could be useful to identify different categories of gastroesophageal reflux disease. We determined whether a juice test at the beginning of esophageal pH monitoring can identify nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) among heartburn patients. Methods Multiple swallows of orange juice (pH 3) were performed at the beginning...
متن کاملNonerosive Reflux Disease (NERD) - An Update
Recognizing nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) as a distinct presentation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was one of the most important developments in the field of GERD in the last decade. Whilst the definition of NERD has not changed significantly over the years, the disorder accounts for the majority of the GERD patients and those who failed proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment. Rec...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Using the Bravo Capsule pH System.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disease predominantly seen in the West but there is a rising trend in Asia. Ambulatory 24-hour catheter-based pH monitoring has been the de facto gold standard test for GERD that correlates symptoms with acid reflux episodes. However, drawbacks such as patients' discomfort, and catheter displacement render the test as cumbersome and error-prone. The B...
متن کاملGastroesophageal reflux disease-related symptom recurrence in patients discontinuing proton pump inhibitors for Bravo® wireless esophageal pH monitoring study.
BACKGROUND Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Those that do not achieve symptom relief, or non-responders, usually undergo esophageal pH monitoring off PPIs in order to confirm the presence of GERD. AIMS To assess the efficacy of the reverse-PPI trial in evaluating the presence of GERD or its recurrence rates, as well as to ide...
متن کاملHigh Serum Pepsinogen I and Low Seroprevalence of in Chinese Patients with Nonerosive Reflux Disease
The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), is increasing in Asia where infection is highly endemic. The role of and pepsinogen (PG) has not been evaluated in most studies of NERD, and whether they play a role in GERD remains controversial. This study aimed to determine the demographic and serologic characteristics of Chinese patients wi...
