[Gastric juice calcium content in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease]
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate free calcium content of gastric juice in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). After analyzing the calcium levels of gastric juice in patients with GERD and healthy people we found that calcium levels in the gastric juice of patients with GERD was significantly lower than normal. It was also analyzes the relationship between free calcium content of saliva and the same index in the gastric juice. It was revealed increasing the ratio of free calcium saliva and gastric juice in patients with GERD. This ratio increases with the progression of the disease, which may indicate on deep motility disorders of gastro-esophageal connection.
