Descriptor esófago de Barrett
Entry term(s) síndrome de Barrett
Scope note: Afección caracterizada por daño en la mucosa del ESÓFAGO distal, debida al reflujo crónico de ácido (ESOFAGITIS POR REFLUJO). Mediante un proceso de metaplasia, las células escamosas son sustituidas por epitelio cilíndrico constituido por células similares a las del INTESTINO o a la mucosa de color asalmonado del ESTÓMAGO. El epitelio cilíndrico de Barret es un marcador de reflujo grave y un precursor del ADENOCARINOMA del esófago.

Scope note: A condition with damage to the lining of the lower ESOPHAGUS resulting from chronic acid reflux (ESOPHAGITIS, REFLUX). Through the process of metaplasia, the squamous cells are replaced by a columnar epithelium with cells resembling those of the INTESTINE or the salmon-pink mucosa of the STOMACH. Barrett's columnar epithelium is a marker for severe reflux and precursor to ADENOCARCINOMA of the esophagus.
