As gastroesophageal reflux disease is a "disease of the XXI century", the relevance of its diagnosis at early stages is high. Using transnasal fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy, which is significantly better tolerated by patients, and the technology of intelligent color coding of pathology of the mucous membrane FICE, can diagnose the earliest manifestations of GERD in the form of inflammatory noerosive changes in the mucous membrane of the distal esophagus, to evaluate the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter; to make a prognosis for the disease, and to formulate a rational policy of conducting the patient.
