Objective To summarize basic research progress and current status of clinical diagnosis and therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Method Related literatures were collected to review the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and therapy of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Results Gastroesophageal reflux disease was caused by many factors, such as hiatus hernia, hypotensive lower esophageal sphincter pressure, acid pocket, prolonged esophageal clearance, and delayed gastric emptying. Extra-esophageal symptoms was a common clinical presentation to gastroesophageal reflux disease. The diagnosis methods for gastroesophageal reflux disease included the symptom observation, gastroscopy examination, 24 h pH monitoring of esophageal, proton pump inhibitor test, questionnaire of gastroesophageal reflux disease and so on. The laparoscopic fundoplication could essentially treat the pathophysiologic abnormalities of gastroesophageal reflux disease, which had an obvious curative effect and wide application prospect. Conclusion Pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of gastroesophageal reflux disease are associated with multiple factors, which is still controversial and remains to be further studied.
