Analyze the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in the end stage renal disease patients / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the prevalence of gastroeaophageat reflux disease(GERD)in the end stage renal disease patients(ESRD)with maintenance hemodialysis and the pathogenetic factors of GERD.Methods 60 cases who had heart burn and acid regurgitation symptoms were enrolled,31 cases of them were ESRD patients with maintenance hemodialysis,29 patients who were renal diseases free as control group.GERD was diagnosed by three methods:endoscopy,24h esophageal pH monitoring,endoscopic esophageal biopsy.GERD was established if any of these tests was positive.HP infection and serum gastrin were assessed too.Results (1)The prevalences of GERD in two groups were 83.9%,79.3% respectively and had no significant difference(P＞0.05).(2)The prevalence of HP infection in the ESRD group was significantly lower than control group(19 4% vs 51.7%,P＜0.05).(3)The concentration of serum gastrin in the ESRD group and control group was(102.61±30.80)ng/ml and (83.41±20.61)ng/ml,two group had significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of GERD inthe ESRD patients was higher than expected,and was correlated with absence of HP infection and hypergastinemia.
