Features: Bile, like gastric acid, can evolve into a pathogenic factor under changing conditions. It is one of the causes of gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastric cancer. Eliminating the damage of bile to the esophageal and gastric mucosa is one of the important measures for preventing these diseases. The book is divided into four parts. The first two chapters describe the mechanisms of bile-induced mucosal damage and the diagnostic methods for bile reflux. The last two chapters introduce the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to bile reflux. This book is a specialized monograph on bile and digestive diseases, serving as a reference for physicians working in the field of gastroenterology. To facilitate reading, all abbreviations used in the book are collected into a table and listed at the beginning of the text for easy reference.
