AB  - Modern functional laboratories provide various techniques for the evaluation of 
      esophageal diseases. For proton pump inhibitor (PPI) refractory reflux symptoms 
      the differentiation of non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease and functional 
      heartburn is essential for the choice of further treatment. The differentiation 
      of the two clinical entities is based on functional diagnostic methods, such as 
      catheter-based and catheter-free pH measurement as well as combined pH 
      measurement and intraluminal impedance. Combined pH measurement and impedance 
      monitoring detects individual reflux episodes and permits the diagnosis of 
      additional functional esophageal diseases, such as supragastric belching. The 
      technical innovation of high resolution manometry has led to a better 
      understanding of esophageal pathophysiology and motility disorders and resulted 
      in a new classification system of esophageal motility disorders (Chicago 
      classification). The diagnosis of achalasia by high resolution manometry 
      differentiates three distinct subtypes which has a direct therapeutic impact on 
      the clinical management.
