Patients of CKD frequently develop different GI symptoms
and GI lesions. Endoscopic examination is a useful
investigation in diagnosis of gastric mucosal lesions. There
was reversal of upper GI symptoms and endoscopic
abnormality following adequate haemodialysis therapy
which would suggest that these symptoms were due to
the presence of uraemic toxins. Yoga and PPIs group also
showed significant symptom improvement; however,
persistence of endoscopic abnormality in these cases
would suggest that the improvement was not complete
due to continued presence of uraemic toxins in nondialysed
patients. In the yoga group, the symptom
improvement response was most likely to be subjective
and symptomatic rather than pathological.
