Posted by Aman Jaiswar on June 24th, 2019

Barrett’s esophagus is one of the major complications of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in which the normal squamous tissue lining the esophagus changes to the tissue resembling that of the intestine lining. This disease is caused by the damage to the esophagus from the chronic backwash of stomach contents (like enzymes and acid) that occurs with abnormal reflux. Over 10% of individuals with GERD develop Barrett’s esophagus. The intestinal cells in Barrett’s esophagus are more resistant to stomach acid than squamous cells, indicating that the tissue changes that occur are to protect the esophagus from acid exposure.

Intestinal metaplasia without dysplasia is a condition in which the epithelial lining of the esophagus is replaced with the type of epithelium found in intestine. Low-grade dysplasia is a condition in which the cells appear abnormal on microscopic observation and this indicates the early-stage of pre-cancer of the esophagus.
