Overview
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Clinical practice guidelines from the American College of Physicians in 2012 recommend esophagogastroduodenoscopy if:[1]
- Alarm symptoms
- Persistence of symptoms after treatment
- Barret's esophagus
However, espophagisitis may be found in asymptomatic patients.[2][3]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other tests that may help include:
- 48 hour esophageal pH and symptom association probability (SAP)[4]
- Bernstein test (acid perfusion test).[5][6]
