Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII) Testing for Non-Acidic Reflux
Posted by fauquierent on December 7, 2008
As far as we know, Virginia Hospital Center’s Heartburn Center in Arlington, VA is one of only a few places in Northern Virginia that offers 24 hour Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII) testing to look for non-acidic reflux. Oftentimes, this test is combined with pH probe testing and manometry to measure the more traditional acid reflux as well as esophageal motility. MII testing is extremely important to evaluate those patients with persistent dry cough, mucus in throat, sensation of throat swelling, etc when all other reflux measurements/testing have come back normal.
