Overview

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is defined as chronic symptoms due to damage to the esophageal mucosa as a result of abnormal reflux of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus[1]. This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. This can be due to incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), transient LES relaxation, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the esophagus, or a hiatal hernia. Chronic GERD is associated with an increased risk of Barrett's esophagus which is a premalignant condition of the esophageal mucosa which is in turn associated with an increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
