“…In several series there has been an extremely close relationship between the results of acid perfusion and symptoms in patients with typical heartburn compared with asymptomatic controls.24 15 On the other hand Spencer 16 has reported a potentially misleading low incidence ofpositive results in patients with a variety ofother upper gastrointestinal disorders, but he did not relate these results to their actual symptoms. Earlam17 has claimed that the epigastric pain of duodenal ulcer can be reproduced by acid perfusion of the lower oesophagus.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether any differences could be demonstrated between patients with reflux symptoms and an acid-sensitive oesophagus (group I) (positive acid perfusion test) and a matched control group of patients with reflux symptoms and an acid-insensitive oesophagus (group II) (negative acid perfusion test) with respect to other oesophageal function tests (manometry, acid clearing and acid reflux (12-h continuous pH recording)). The two groups consisted of 47 and 46 patients, respectively. No differences were demonstrated between the two groups with respect to gastro-oesophageal sphincter pressure, acid-clearing ability, and acid reflux (irrespective of the criterion used for reflux). From the study it may be concluded that not only hydrochloric acid but other components of the reflux material may be responsible for producing symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux.
