Abstract:
To study the relationship between gastric pH and bilirubin absorption value in bile reflux gastritis, we simultaneously assessed the changes in gastric pH and bilirubin absorption value during 24h in 22 patients with bile reflux gastritis using ambulatory 24h pH meter and bilirubin monitoring technique. There was no relationship between gastric pH and bilirubin absorption value,either with occurrence of bile reflux or elevation of gastric pH value. It is concluded that 24h intragastric bilirubin monitoring can not be replaced by pH monitoring, and monitoring bilirubin absorption as an index of bile reflux is very important in the diagnosis of bile reflux gastritis.
