4. Esophageal pH monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_pH_Monitoring

   In gastroenterology, esophageal pH monitoring is the current gold standard for diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It provides direct physiologic measurement of acid in the esophagus and is the most objective method to document reflux disease, assess the severity of the disease and monitor the response of the disease to medical or surgical treatment.

5. Impedance–pH monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance–pH_monitoring

   Impedance–pH monitoring is a technique used in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), by monitoring both impedance and pH. [1] [2]Patients with ongoing symptoms while on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are commonly diagnosed with impedance–pH monitoring while continuing their medications.

7. Acid peptic diseases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Peptic_Diseases

   Acid peptic diseases, such as peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux disease, are caused by distinct but overlapping pathogenic mechanisms involving acid effects on mucosal defense. Acid reflux damages the esophageal mucosa and may also cause laryngeal tissue injury, leading to the development of pulmonary ...
