Exploration of the Esophageal Mucosal Barrier in Non-Erosive Reflux Disease

Exploration of the Esophageal Mucosal Barrier in Non-Erosive Reflux Disease

In the absence of visible mucosal damage, it is hypothesized that the esophageal mucosal barrier is functionally impaired in patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). The aim of the present study was to perform an exploratory analysis of the mucosal barrier in NERD compared to erosive esophag...
