Pathophysiology of GERD
• Abdominal transient lower esophageal
sphincter relaxation(TLESR) reaction.
• Hypersensitivity of the esophageal
mucosa to stimuli.
• Delayed gastric emptying.
• Decreased ability to clear the contents of
reflux.
Defective esophageal
clearance
LES ‘dysfunction’
Hiatal hernia

Pathophysiology of GERD
• GERD results when there is imbalance between
aggressive and defensive mechanisms, favoring
aggressive factors.
• The aggressive factors are: gastroduodenal factors such
as acid and pepsin, duodenal contents: bile, trypsin,
Helicobacter pylori, & gastric emptying.
• The defensive factos are: esophageal factors and
gastroesophageal junction factors.
• The esophageal factors are: peristalsis, saliva, epithelial
defense and repair.
• The gastroesophageal junction are: transient LES
relaxations, hypotensive LES, & hiatal hernia.

Pathophysiology of GERD
Risk Factors for GERD
• Ethnical factor;
Multi-race Malaysia : GERD India / china: risk 3,25
Melayu/china: risk 1,67
• BMI : > 25 OR 1,41
• Hiatus Hernia OR 4,21
• Alcohol OR 2,42
• Fatty food OR 6,56
• Over eating OR 1,99
Complications
• Stricture
• Upper gi bleeding
• Perforation
• Esophageal cancer.
Conclusion
• Pathophysiology of GERD is imbalance of
aggressive and defensive factors, favoring
the aggressive factor.
• There are risk factors for GERD:
endogenous and exogenous.
• The complications of GERD: stricture,
Upper gi bleeding, perforation, esophageal
cancer.
