24-HOUR ESOPHAGEAL MULTICHANNEL PH-IMPEDANCE MONITORING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (CLINICAL CASES)
Abstract
Background. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an urgent problem of modern gastroenterology as well as the most common pathology of the upper gastrointestinal tract; it is a chronic disease that significantly reduces the patient's quality of life, increases the risk of developing Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Objective. To assess the potentials of multichannel intraluminal pH impedance monitoring in the diagnosis of esophageal diseases. Material and methods. In 3 patients with clinical and endoscopic signs of GERD esophageal multichannel intraluminal pH-impedance monitoring was performed using the diagnostic equipment Digitrapper pH-Z from Given Imaging (USA). Results. 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring enabled to verify the diagnosis of GERD, to reveal a hypersensitive esophagus and manifestations of nocturnal acid breakthrough. Conclusions. Multichannel intraluminal pH-impedance monitoring is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of esophageal diseases; it significantly expands opportunities of gastroenterologists in the treatment of GERD.
