Association Between Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Venous Thromboembolism (VTE): A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are two common clinical conditions, each associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although they differ in etiology and pathophysiology, recent studies have explored potential links between these two conditions. GERD-induced chronic inflammation, increased pro-thrombotic states, and shared risk factors, such as obesity, may contribute to an elevated risk of VTE. This review aims to summarize the current evidence, discuss possible mechanisms of association, and evaluate the clinical implications of the interplay between GERD and VTE.
