Abstract

VEGETATIVE REACTIVITY AND VEGETATIVE SUPPLY IN DIFFERENT VARIANTS OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE IN YOUNG PATIENTS WITH AUTOIMMUNE INFLAMMATION Pasiieshvili T.M.Aim: to determine the state and role of autonomic reactivity and autonomic supply in patients with different manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease in combination with autoimmune thyroiditis through psychological testing by using a questionnaire of A.M. Vejn.Materials and methods. 87 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and autoimmune thyroiditis and 45 persons with an isolated gastroesophageal reflux disease were enrolled in the study. All the examined individuals were students.Results. It has been shown that the course of diseases is accompanied by a layering of clinical manifestations of autonomic dysfunction, which are more pronounced in cases of comorbidities. It has been found out that vegetative supply prevails in a number of indicators in the patients with an erosive form of gastroesophageal reflux disease. It has been proven that in almost all the cases of erosion (8 people -72.7%), the individuals experienced some clinical manifestations of vegetative provision, such as general weakness, increased fatigue, lability of the pulse and blood pressure, and palpitation. At the same time, the "vegetative tail" was recorded only in a third (34.7%) of the studied without erosive lesions of the esophageal mucous membrane. The patients with an erosive form of the disease have a long period of experiencing some manifestations of autonomic dysfunction (up to 3 months) that considerably affects the quality of their life.Conclusions. Coupling of autoimmune thyroiditis and gastroesophageal reflux disease leads to the emergence of autonomic reactivity. Vegetative "supply" of the course of comorbidity between gastroesophageal reflux disease and autoimmune thyroiditis becomes more pronounced in the presence of an erosive process in the mucous membrane, which is also known as one of the factors of its possible manifestations.
