Prospective Analysis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Patients Presenting With Dysphagia

NCT00256529 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 483

Last updated 2014-12-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a prospective descriptive cross sectional study to determine the percentage of patients presenting with dysphagia who are found to have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and to establish which presenting factors warrant esophageal biopsies. We hypothesize that a greater than expected percentage of patients who are biopsies will have histologic changes consistent with EE.

Conditions

  • Esophagitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

EGD with biopsies

All subjects presenting with dysphagia will undergo an EGD with distal and proximal biopsies of the esophagus.
