“The main function of pyloric closure is to reduce the volume of fluid that refluxes into the distal stomach from the duodenum.”

“If the muscular valve above the stomach leaks, food mixed with acid washes back, or refluxes, into the esophagus.”

“Once the urine refluxes back to ureter and kidneys, the bacteria can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infection, and then nephritis, even Uremia.”
