Pepsin A was presented in saliva of children undergoing gastro-oesophageal reflux disease investigation. Positive pepsin A was associated with a gastro-oesophageal reflux episode, and its peak value correlated with acidic reflux. Salivary pepsin as a marker for gastro-oesophageal reflux needs further investigation.
