Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is present in individuals with a symptomatic condition or histopathological alteration resultant from episodes of gastroesophageal reflux. Reflux esophagitis is present in a subset of GERD patients with lesions in the esophageal mucosa.However, reflux often causes symptoms in the absence of esophagitis.
