Why diagnosis of GERD is important
Continuous, untreated gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) can lead to a very poor quality of life and may also lead to serious problems, such as damage to the esophagus, esophageal cancer and cancer of the larynx.
It is dangerous to receive treatment without getting confirmation that symptoms are caused by reflux. Taking medication when it is not needed can cause long-term health problems and may mask a serious problem.
Many people take medication for months or years without understanding the serious risks.
If left untreated, prolonged exposure of oesophageal and laryngeal tissues to reflux can cause further complications, such as esophagitis, ulcers, and even cancer. A fast and accurate diagnosis of reflux can result in patients getting the right treatment at the right time, averting further long-term health problems.
“Using Peptest, the high levels of pepsin in my saliva confirmed I was refluxing but also the levels involved and when it was happening. With this information, I was able to work with my doctor to positively manage my reflux symptoms and to identify the best treatment.”
