    Reflux esophagitis: an update.

    Abstract

    In recent years, much has been learned about the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of gastroesophageal (GE) reflux disease. Mucosal resistance, gastric contents, esophageal acid clearance, gastric emptying, and incompetency of the lower esophageal sphincter are contributing factors to GE reflux. Use of the various diagnostic tests and an overview of current therapy are summarized.
