AB  - Gastroesophageal  reflux  disease  (GERD)  is  one  of  the  most  common  disorders  seen  in  the  general  population.  Approximately  10%  of  the  population  experiences  heartburn  daily,  15%  in  any  given  week,  and  about  half  of  all  people  experience  it  any  given  year.1  The  spectrum  of  disease  may  vary  from  occasional  postprandial  substernal  discomfort,  to  development  of  peptic  stricture  or  even  development  of  carcinoma  in  the  setting  of  Barrett  esophagus.  Physicians  should  identify  and  select  for  treatment  those  patients  at  risk  of  developing  complications.  This  chapter  covers  the  etiology,  diagnosis,  complications,  and  treatment  of  GERD.
