Diagnosis and Treatment of Refractory Gastroesophageal
Among different type of GERD refractory GERD was a problem found in daily clinical practice. This terminology was used in patients with regurgitation and heartburn symptoms which is not responsive to 8 weeks proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. There were several mechanisms underlying the etiology and pathophysiology of refractory GERD.

· Management of a patient with refractory GERD requires a high level of certainty about the initial diagnosis of GERD that prompted the PPI therapy. It should be determined if the diagnosis of GERD was based solely on symptoms (subjective findings) or if other objective tests such as upper endoscopy or pH testing were utilised.

How to Manage Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
· Diagnostic Approach to Gerd Refractory to Initial Treatment At present patients who have GERD symptoms (i.e. heartburn and/or acid regurgitation) do not undergo initial endoscopy unless they have dysphagia bleeding or weight loss. Instead these patients are given a 4–8-week trial with a PPI to be taken in the morning before breakfast.
