| Causes of increased exposure of the esophagus to gastric refluxate |
|
Definition
| , most people with GERD show abnormal exposure of the esophagus to gastric acid and pepsin. In most cases, this is due to dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). However, exposure can also be increased as a result of increased intra-abdominal pressure, hiatal hernia, inadequate clearance of refluxate from the esophagus, or delayed gastric emptying |
