A patient with gastroesophageal reflux disease is at risk for Barrett's oesophagus complication.
Acid reflux impairs the flat pink lining of the oesophagus, the pipe that connects the mouth to the stomach, rendering it to thicken and turn red. This disorder is known as Barrett's oesophagus.
A disorder called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is brought on by the reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus and is characterised by uncomfortable symptoms and problems.
The typical criteria for diagnosing GERD are the classic symptoms and the outcome of an empiric trial with acid suppression. Due to its link to a lower quality of life and severe morbidity, GERD is a significant health concern. Esophagitis and Barrett's oesophagus are two major consequences of GERD that can develop if it is not treated.
