Overview
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Clinical practice guidelines recommend esophagogastroduodenoscopy if:[1]
- Alarm symptoms
- Persistence of symptoms after treatment
- Barret's esophagus
However, espophagisitis may be found in asymptomatic patients.[2][3]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other tests that may help include the Bernstein test (acid perfusion test).[4][5]
