SOLVED3820

A 35 year-old patient has a tentative diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). What conclusion should the healthcare provide arrive at when esophageal erosions are noted on endoscopic examination? Depending on how the patient presents, GERD syndromes may be classified into two categories: (1) symptoms present but without erosions seen on the endoscopic exam; or (2) those with esophageal tissue injury. Esophageal erosions occur as a result of repeated exposure to refluxed material for prolonged periods. GERD may occur in all ages but most commonly presents in those older than 40 years of age.
