What is Reflux Esophagitis?
Also written as：Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease ／ GERD
Reflux esophagitis is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing inflammation of the esophageal lining. It can produce symptoms such as heartburn and throat discomfort, and is typically identified by endoscopy (gastroscopy). Contributing factors include diet, obesity, and aging.
How to interpret an out-of-range result
