Esophageal Function Laboratory
Overview
The Esophageal Laboratory does tests to check how the esophagus and stomach are working.
Special monitor probes are inserted through the nose and into the esophagus and stomach. The probes monitor acid levels in the stomach and activity of the muscles lining the esophagus and stomach. Results of the test are sent to the patient’s physician.
