Acid-related diseases (ARDs) are characterized by high incidence rates and significant disease burden. Excessive gastric acid secretion or heightened gastric acid sensitivity is the common pathogenesis of these conditions, leading to the widespread application of the principle of "treating different diseases with the same therapy" in medication management. With increasing concerns about the risks of inappropriate use of acid-suppressing drugs like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), there is an urgent need to deepen the systematic understanding of medication therapy for acid-related diseases and to promote rational drug use. This consensus was developed by a multidisciplinary panel of experts in clinical medicine, pharmacy, and methodology. Based on evidence-based medicine, it provides a systematic elaboration on the classification of ARDs, therapeutic drugs, diagnostic methods, and pharmaceutical care services. Additionally, it offers consensus-based recommendations and management strategies for key clinical issues encountered in practice. The release of this consensus is of great significance for establishing a medication therapy management system and promoting rational drug use for acid-related diseases.
