| reflux laryngitis | Inflammation of the voice box (larynx) caused by stomach acid backing up into the oesophagus.

| reflux nephropathy | <nephrology> A condition where the chronic backup of urine into a kidney results in kidney damage. Urine is forced out of the bladder and back toward kidney. This condition occurs most commonly in children who have congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract. Symptoms include back pain, flank, pain, abdominal pain, urinary frequency or urgency and blood in the urine. Other symptoms include nausea, fever and chills, most often indicating a kidney infection has occurred. Diagnosis is frequently confirmed by voiding cystourethrogram. Surgery is often required to correct the reflux of urine. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| reflux oesophagitis | <gastroenterology> A disorder where a backwash of gastric juices (acid) into the oesophagus lead to inflammation and pain. Symptoms include heartburn, indigestion, increased belching and upper abdominal pain. Complications include oesophageal stricture. Treatment includes antacids, H2 antagonists and proton pump inhibitors. (27 Sep 1997) |
| reflux otitis media | Otitis media caused by passage of nasopharyngeal secretions through the eustachian tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflux, oesophageal | A condition wherein stomach contents regurgitate or back up (reflux) into the oesophagus (a long cylindrical tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach). The food in the stomach is partially digested by stomach acid and enzymes. Normally, the partially digested acid content in the stomach is delivered by the stomach muscle into the small intestine for further digestion. In oesophageal reflux, stomach acid content refluxes backwards up into the oesophagus, occasionally reaching the breathing passages, causing inflammation and damage to the oesophagus, as well as to the lung and larynx (the voice box). The overall process is medically termed gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). 10% of patients with gerd develop a barrett's oesophagus which can increase the risk of cancer of the oesophagus.
