Barrett's patch at one fold
I am suffering from chronic GERD and I underwent endoscopy which states that there is Barrett's patch at one fold with RUT severely positive. In old question the picture was not clear so now I'm attaching a clear and scanned picture of endoscopy report. Please tell if Barrett's patch is there or not. And if it exists then what is the cure at this stage.

Dear Sir it's difficult with the picture that you have provided to identify whether there is Barrett's oesophagus present. A diagnosis of Barrett's oesophagitis is usually made with a biopsy from the suspected area as Barrett's oesophagitis is a change of the lining area of the oesophagus from normal cells of the oesophagus to cells that resemble that of the intestine. So if you need to find out you need to undergo a repeat endoscopy with a biopsy. With an endoscopy you can only suspect Barrett's oesophagus but it can be definitely diagnosed only with a biopsy.
