ABSTRACT
The symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux may be induced by acid reflux, nonacidic or weakly acidic reflux, and also can occur with hypersensitive esophagus, esophageal motility disorders, or other organic/anatomical abnormalities of esophagus.Refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) denotes the symptoms of GERD could not be remitted with the standard dosage proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy.In most patients with refractory symptoms the etiology is of non-reflux-related causes, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal motility disorders, gastroparesis, or concomitant functional gastrointestinal disorders.A careful and detailed understanding of patient's medical history, examination with endoscopy and biopsy pathology, and esophageal pH-impedance monitoring are very important for identifying the potential cause.
