Overview
The diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus is made basically on endoscopy, when at least 2 of the following diagnostic criteria are met: presence of columnar epithelium in the distal esophagus and the presence of intestinal metaplasia in the columnar epithelium lining the distal esophagus.
Diagnostic Criteria
- The diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus is made when at least 2 of the following diagnostic criteria are met:[1]
- There is should be a documentation of columnar epithelium lining the distal esophagus while doing the endoscopy.
- Intestinal metaplasia must be present in the columnar epithelium on the Barrett's esophagus biopsy specimen taken during endoscopy.
- Endoscopy reveals salmon-pink colored extensions of mucosa that grow into the esophagus above the esophageal gastric junction.
- Screening and surveillance, four quadrant biopsies are taken every 2cm of the Barrett's esophagus mucosa and submitted to pathology for dysplasia.
