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...
متن کاملLaryngopharyngeal Reflux and Asthma
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 gain...
متن کاملPepsin and carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme III as diagnostic markers for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to investigate the potential use of pepsin and carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme III (CA-III) as diagnostic markers for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cell biological investigation was conducted of laryngeal biopsy specimens taken from 9 patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux disease and 12 normal control subjects using antibodies...
متن کاملCombined Dual Channel Impedance/pH-metry in Patients With Suspected Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
BACKGROUND/AIMS Laryngopharyngeal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) such as globus sensation, hoarseness and chronic cough are becoming increasingly recognized. This study was aimed to investigate the diagnostic usefulness of combined dual channel multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII)/pH-metry in 'off-proton pump inhibitor (PPI)' patients with suspected laryngopharyngeal re...
