GERD and Sepsis: A Dangerous Connection
Understanding the Risks and Prevention Strategies
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, is a condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. While GERD is often considered a relatively mild condition, it can have serious consequences if left untreated. One such complication is sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body's response to an infection.
