Reflux esophagitis

Reflux esophagitis is an inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal system characterized by mucosal injury and inflammation of the distal esophagus Clinically, affected patients commonly present with persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, chest pain, and dysphagia, and prolonged inflammation may progress to complications such as peptic strictures or Barrett's esophagus

Reflux esophagitis is an inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal system characterized by mucosal injury and inflammation of the distal esophagus Pathophysiologically, this chemical exposure disrupts the epithelial barrier, triggering a cytokine-mediated inflammatory response that leads to visible mucosal breaks, erosions, or ulcerations Clinically, affected patients commonly present with persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, chest pain, and dysphagia, and prolonged inflammation may pro...

It represents an objective, erosive manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease, primarily occurring in adults when gastric acid, pepsin, and bile persistently backflow past an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter
