[Exhaled nitric oxide in patients with esophagitis].
Journal Title: Advances in Respiratory Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 79, Issue 4
Abstract
Assessment of nitric oxide (NO) concentration in exhaled air is broadly used to monitor the airway inflammation in asthma. High level of NO are also observed in paranasal sinuses and gastrointestinal tract (GT). The intact esopahageal sphincters are responsible for maintain the NO within the GT. It is not known how much the GT and especially esophageal motility disorders can affect the FeNO measurements. The aim of the study was to assess if the gastroesophageal reflux disease has any impact on level of NO in exhaled air in patients who do not suffer from any airway disease.
