Abstract		The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) has incrised in last decade and is at the moment between 6% and 14% in the western world. Patients with GORD can have esophageal or extaesophageal symptoms. The majority of patients (70%) have non erosive reflux disease, the others have erosive reflux disease, 5% of patients have also some complications. GORD is a chronic disease with 80% relapse rate per year. The severity of GORD does not change during disease history. Barrett esophagus , a complication of the disease, is a precancerous lesion with incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma between 0.2% and 2.1% per year.
Summary		Gastroezofagealna refluksna bolezen (GERB) ima prevalenco od 6% do 14% in v zadnjih letih narašča. Simptomi GERB-a so lahko s strani požiralnika ali s strani sosednjih organov. Do 70% bolnikov ima neerozivno refluksno bolezen, ostali pa erozivno refluksno bolezen, približno 5% bolnikov pa ima erozivno refluksno bolezen s komplikacijami. GERB je kronična bolezen z letno stopnjo recidiva do 80%. Težavnostna stopnjabolezni se običajno ne spreminja z leti trajanja bolezni. Barrettov požiralnik je komplikacija GERB-a , ki predstavlja prekancerozo z letnim rizikom za nastanek adenokarcinoma požiralnika med 0,2% do celo 2,1%.
