NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA: CURRENT DATA

Abstract

This article discusses modern non invasive diagnostic methods for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with bronchial asthma. GERD significantly impacts asthma exacerbations due to acid reflux, triggering bronchospasm. Diagnostic tools like 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring, Bravo capsule pH monitoring, GERD symptom questionnaires, and high-resolution manometry are crucial for early detection.
