Ambulatory 24 hour intraesophageal pH-monitoring in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The results of ambulatory 24 hour oesophageal pH monitoring in 20 patients with established gastro-oesophageal reflux disease were compared with those of 20 healthy individuals with normal endoscopy. Cut off limits of pH 3, 4, and 5 were superior to pH 2 with respect to the discrimination of patients from normal subjects, and for the detection of pathological reflux. Using pH 4 as a cut off lim...

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 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 کاملHistological changes in the oesophageal squamous mucosa: correlation with ambulatory 24 hour pH monitoring.
AIMS To determine the value of squamous mucosal histology in the assessment of patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms. METHODS Sixty six patients with reflux symptoms underwent endoscopy with oesophageal biopsy, manometry, and 24 hour oesophageal pH testing. The following histological features were assessed in squamous mucosa: the degree of basal cell hyperplasia, the degree of papi...
