Introduction<\/h4>\n

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a relatively common symptom in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients(1\u20133). However, there are conflicting data concerning the effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure on reflux. For instance, one study found no difference in lower esophageal sphincter pressures between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients while in the sitting position after a 1-2 liter infusion of dialysate. Yet, the same study also noted significantly lower pressures in symptomatic patients while in the supine position after a 2-liter infusion(4). Another study of 61 PD patients found that the incidence of GERD was not correlated with elevated daytime or nighttime intraperitoneal pressure (5).<\/p>\n

Treatment and Preventative Measures<\/h4>\n

Small frequent meals and avoidance of foods that reduce sphincter pressure (e.g., chocolate and alcohol) are generally recommended. Pharmacologic agents for acid suppression may also be needed(6). Reducing exchange volume while standing or sitting is often beneficial.<\/p>\n
