Laryngopharyngeal reflux--it's not GERD.
نویسنده
چکیده
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) are different disorders. The term LPR is used to describe the acid in the stomach that comes up into the throat at the level of the laryngopharnyx. LPR causes irritation and changes in the larynx. GERD is cause by the backflow of gastric contents into the esophagus, which leads to tissue damage or esophagitis and heartburn.

Some researchers postulate a connection between LPR and GERD, whereas some assert LPR is a disease apart from GERD. We examined symptoms of GERD from LPR patients, and performed gastrointestinal endoscopy and transmiss...

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is part of the so-called extraesophageal manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is presented by unspecific symptoms and signs and is believed to be caused by the reflux of gastric content to the proximal esophagus and larynx. However, evidence considering the role of the antireflux surgery for LPR has failed to demonstrate results comparable ...
