    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Digestive Health

    Background:

    • Recent advancements have improved understanding of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) pathogenesis.
    • Key factors contributing to GERD include mucosal resistance, gastric contents, esophageal acid clearance, gastric emptying, and lower esophageal sphincter function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize current knowledge on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of GERD.
    • To provide an overview of diagnostic tests and therapeutic strategies for GERD.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of recent research on GERD.
    • Synthesis of information on contributing factors, diagnostic modalities, and treatment options.

    Main Results:

    • GERD pathogenesis is multifactorial, involving both upper gastrointestinal motility and mucosal defense mechanisms.
