24 Hour pH & Impedence Metry
We run special IBD clinic on every FIRST THURSDAY of each month. IBD means Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and includes diseases like Ulcerative Colitis, Chron’s Disease, etc. On that day we arrange special lectures regarding education about the disease, need for continuation of medications, diet, importance of exercise, etc.
Esophageal 24-hour pH/impedance reflux monitoring measures the amount of reflux (both acidic and non-acidic) in your esophagus during a 24-hour period, and assesses whether your symptoms are correlated with the reflux. What is 24-hour pH and impedance monitoring? 24-hour pH and impedance monitoring measures the amount of fluid coming up (refluxing) into the oesophagus from the stomach over a 24 hour period and if this fluid is acidic. This allows us to establish whether your child’s symptoms are due to reflux.
