Asthma Reflux
09.23.05

Article available online at: http://www.therapytimes.com/0923RTNEWSREFLUX


Can acid reflux worsen symptoms for asthma patients? Probably, said UAB’s Asthma Clinical Research Center (ACRC), one of twenty American Lung Association-funded research facilities.

The center intends to find out just how serious acid reflux can be.

“There is evidence that 65 to 75 percent of asthma patients also suffer from acid reflux and we believe the condition can exacerbate asthma symptoms,” says Lynn Gerald, Ph.D., associate professor of medicine and director of ACRC.

The center has launched an NIH-funded study to see if standard treatments for acid reflux can lessen the severity of asthma symptoms in patients with persistent asthma.
