lüll Gastroesophageal reflux disease and graft failure after lung transplantation Mohammed A; Neujahr DCTransplant Rev (Orlando) 2010[Apr]; 24 (2): 99-103In spite of advances in lung transplantation, the median survival after lung transplant remains less than 5 years, an outcome that is significantly worse than other solid organ transplants. Efforts to understand the unique hurdles faced in lung transplant have revealed gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a risk factor for ultimate graft failure. The link between GERD and chronic lung rejection parallels the association between GERD and other forms of lung disease such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Understanding how GERD predisposes to graft failure is an important issue as it may lead to therapies such as surgical correction that aim to lessen the exposure of the pulmonary epithelium to gastric contents. Here, we review the link between GERD and lung disease and discuss the preclinical and clinical studies that are starting to elucidate a mechanism for this association.|Bronchiolitis Obliterans/epidemiology[MESH]|Gastroesophageal Reflux/*epidemiology[MESH]|Graft Rejection/epidemiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung Diseases/etiology[MESH]|Lung Transplantation/*adverse effects[MESH]|Postoperative Complications/classification/*epidemiology[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Treatment Failure[MESH]|Voice Disorders/epidemiology/etiology[MESH] |
