Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Asthma

چکیده
The gastroesophageal reflux presence in asthma has been the subject of many studies indicating their frequent coexisting. The essence of this correlation is not entirely clear and several hypotheses can be found in literature. Recently defined laryngopharyngeal reflux and studies on its impact on the course of asthma seem to bring us closer to understanding this issue. In the last years we gained access to the new diagnostic methods allowing direct registration of laryngopharyngeal reflux. This paper summarizes laryngopharyngeal reflux diagnostic possibilities including the most advanced technologies. It also evaluates published clinical studies, which investigated laryngopharyngeal reflux in asthma patients, both in adults and children.

Significance of the pepsin from the saliva in the diagnosis and treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.
Etiopathogenesis of the laryngopharyngeal reflux has not been sufficiently clarified. It is believed that damage to the lining of laryngopharynx in laryngopharyngeal disease occurs in the use of acid and pepsin. The diagnosis of reflux acidic 24-hour Dual probe pH-metry is considered the gold standard. However, since the laryngopharyngeal reflux is often non-acidic new diagnostic methods are be...
متن کاملRole of PH Monitoring in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Patients with Voice Disorders
Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is considered an important cause of voice disorder. We aimed to determine the frequency of LPR in patients with voice disorder and the association between Koufman Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Reflux Finding Score (RFS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and proximal acid reflux in these patients. Materials and Methods: We performed a prospective...
