Gastroesophageal reflux disease in chronic renal failure patients with upper GI symptoms: multivariate analysis of pathogenetic factors

Abstract

Upper GI symptoms are important in predicting gastroesophageal reflux disease in end-stage renal disease patients. Chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, GI amyloidosis, and absence of H. pylori infection seem to be risk factors for the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease in end-stage renal disease patients.
