Some methodological in vitro observations concerning bile reflux monitoring (Bilitec) suggested that Bilitec monitoring is underestimating reflux in an acid environment. Moreover, other studies showed that the area above the cutoff level of bilirubin absorbance would provide an adequate quantitative marker for reflux of duodenal contents. Our aim was to study whether correction for intraesophageal acidity and the area above cutoff during Bilitec monitoring affects the results and the correlation with pH measurement and esophageal lesions. In 84 patients (46 men; mean age 46 +/- 2.7 years) evaluated for suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease, we performed ambulatory 24-hr esophageal pH and Bilitec monitoring after an upper gastrointestina...
