“…These arguments would explain that the cases of GER associated with microaspirations have chronic damage to the respiratory epithelium and a sustained state of inflammation that justifies the appearance of clubbing. However, in none of the described cases of HT described, chronic lung disease, hypoxemia, or venoarterial shunts that justify its presence have been found (1,6,7,12), so its pathophysiological mechanism remains enigmatic. However, due to the uniqueness of the disappearance of clubbing when treating GERD, it is reasonable to attribute its appearance to the presence of esophagitis (5,12).…”

“…Furthermore, plasma protein normalization after specific treatment corroborates the association between reflux esophagitis and protein-losing enteropathy ( 6 ). Despite this situation of protein-losing enteropathy, the values of fecal alpha-1-antitrypsin remains in normal range due to 2 mechanisms, intermittent losses of this protein ( 7 ) and its degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach.…”

“…Honraban con ello a los autores que por primera vez habían descrito tal agrupación patológica 1 . Es ésta una circunstancia en la que no extraña el hallazgo de hipoproteinemia y anemia dado que el origen de ambas tiene fácil explicación en la pérdida del efecto barrera de la mucosa esofágica inflamada (esofagitis por reflujo) 1,2,4 , pero sorprende el desarrollo de acropaquías si el RGE no se ha complicado con una neumopatía crónica como resultado de las microaspiraciones recurrentes a las que el reflujo da origen.…”

“…Cabe concluir que la tríada de Herbst es una situación clínica excepcional relacionada con el RGE cuya singularidad radica, por una parte, en el desarrollo de acropaquías en ausencia de la esperable neumopatía crónica broncoaspirativa y, por otra, en que su desaparición tras la cirugía correctora permite atribuir su desarrollo a la esofagitis. Por último, subrayar que la esofagitis secundaria a un RGE severo, asociado o no a hernia hiatal, debe ser incluida en el diagnóstico diferencial de las acropaquías 1,2 así como en el de las hipoproteinemias e hipogammaglobulinemias por enteropatía pierde proteínas 4 .…”
