==Overview==
[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Barrett's esophagus must be differentiated from [[esophagitis]], [[peptic ulcer disease]], [[GERD]], [[esophageal carcinoma]] and esophageal motor disorders.

Overview

Barrett's esophagus must be differentiated from esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease, GERD, esophageal carcinoma and esophageal motor disorders.

Differentiating Barrett's Esophagus from other Diseases

Barrett's esophagus should be differentiated from the following diseases;

Disease Signs and Symptoms Barium esophagogram Endoscopy Other imaging and laboratory findings Gold Standard
Onset Dysphagia Weight loss Heartburn Other findings Mental status
Solids Liquids Type
Barrett's esophagus Gradual + - Progressive +/- + GERD Symptoms Normal
  • The esophageal lining appears pink or red and velvety. 
  • No any other test is done to diagnose Barrett's esophagus
Eosinophilic esophagitis Gradual + Progressive +/- +/- Normal
Esophageal carcinoma
  • Gradual
 + + Progressive + +/- Normal
