Abstract

In 80% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation also occur during nighttime hours. The nocturnal form of GERD predisposes to the development of complications such as erosive esophagitis, esophageal ulcers and strictures, Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Therapeutic management, in addition to lifestyle modifications, includes pharmacotherapy using proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists.
