PG - 757-63 AB - The Japanese Society of Gastroenterology recently published a GERD guideline that is developed mainly on the published high level evidences. According to the guideline, (1) treatment with a proton pump inhibitor(PPI) even before an endoscopic study, (2) adjustments of dose and way of administration of PPI if a previous standard PPI therapy fails, (3) pH monitoring study if dose adjustment and way of administration of PPIs fails, are recommended for the treatment of GERD. In addition, for the long-term therapy of GERD, PPI maintenance therapy is safe and recommended in the guideline. Regular renewal and revision of the GERD guideline is expected.
