Gastroesophageal reflux disease and alginates: diagnosis, treatment, prevention

German Ju. Knorring, Iuliia V. Sediakina

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains a major problem in gastroenterology. GERD phenotypes have recently been identified, but a key mechanism of pathogenesis is the effect of acidic stomach contents on the esophageal mucosa due to reflux. The role of alginates in GERD is expanding in terms of diagnosis, improvement of treatment outcomes, and prevention of relapse.
