A peptic ulcer is an erosion in a segment of the gastrointestinal mucosa, typically in the stomach (gastric ulcer) or the first few centimeters of the duodenum (duodenal ulcer), that penetrates through the muscularis mucosae.
Ulcers are delineated from erosions by the depth of penetration; erosions are more superficial and do not involve the muscularis mucosae.
The peptic ulcer disease (PUD) mechanism results from an imbalance between gastric mucosal protective and destructive factors.
Nearly all ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use.
H. pylori and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) disrupt normal mucosal defense and repair, making the mucosa more susceptible to acid.
NSAIDs block prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting the COX-1 enzyme, resulting in decreased gastric mucus and bicarbonate production and a decrease in mucosal blood flow.
Apart from NSAIDs, corticosteroids, bisphosphonates, potassium chloride, and fluorouracil have been implicated in the etiology of PUD.
Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for the development of ulcers and their complications
Also, smoking impairs ulcer healing and increases the incidence of recurrence.
Very few patients have hypersecretion of gastrin caused by a gastrinoma (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
many patients, particularly older patients, have few or no symptoms. Pain is most common, often localized to the epigastrium and relieved by food or antacids. The pain is described as burning or gnawing, or sometimes as a sensation of hunger. The course is usually chronic and recurrent.
Pain is absent when the patient awakens but appears mid-morning and is relieved by food but recurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal. Pain that awakens a patient at night is common and is highly suggestive of duodenal ulcer.
Gastric ulcer symptoms often do not follow a consistent pattern (eg, eating sometimes exacerbates rather than relieves pain).
The pain of gastric ulcers increases 15 to 30 minutes after a meal and may result in weight loss
Warning symptoms or alarm symptoms that should prompt urgent referral include:[6] Unintentional weight loss Progressive dysphagia Overt gastrointestinal bleeding Iron deficiency anemia Recurrent emesis Family history of upper gastrointestinal malignancy
Diagnosis of peptic ulcer is suggested by patient history and confirmed by endoscopy.
Anyone with the presence of alarm symptoms should undergo EGD, irrespective of age.
endoscopy allows for biopsy or cytologic brushing of gastric and esophageal lesions to distinguish between simple ulceration and ulcerating stomach cancer.
The incidence of malignant duodenal ulcer is extremely low, so biopsies of duodenal lesions are generally not warranted.
Endoscopy can also be used to definitively diagnose H. pylori infection, which should be sought when an ulcer is detected
Make initial diagnosis with a urea breath test or stool antigen assay; if endoscopy is being done for other reasons, analyze biopsy samples using a rapid urease test or histologic staining.
Gastrin-secreting cancer and gastrinoma should be considered when there are multiple ulcers, when ulcers develop in atypical locations (eg, postbulbar) or are refractory to treatment, or when the patient has prominent diarrhea or weight loss.
Serum gastrin levels should be measured in these patients.
Treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers requires eradication of H. pylori when present and a reduction of gastric acidity
For duodenal ulcers, it is particularly important to suppress nocturnal acid secretion.
PPIs have largely replaced H2 receptor blockers due to their superior healing and efficacy.
Quadruple therapy is the best initial therapy in areas where the clarithromycin resistance rate is > 15% or in patients in whom microbial resistance data are not available and is recommended in both the European guidelines (4) and in the ACG guidelines (1).
Optimized bismuth-based quadruple therapy (BQT) for 14-days is the recommended therapy for treatment-naïve patients
Optimized BQT consists of PPI twice daily, tetracyclince 500 mg 4 times daily, metronidazole 500 mg 3 or 4 times daily, and bismuth subcitrate or bismuth subsalicylate 4 times daily for 14 days.
proof of H. pylori eradication is required in all patients after treatment by obtaining a fecal antigen test, urea breath testing, or gastric biopsy.
Eradication may be confirmed by a urea breath test, stool antigen test (9), or upper endoscopy done ≥ 4 weeks after completion of therapy.
NSAIDs induced PUD can be treated by stopping the use of NSAIDs or switching to a lower dose.
However, patients who require NSAIDs after having had a peptic ulcer are candidates for long-term therapy
Smoking should be stopped
Mild to severe gastrointestinal hemorrhage is the most common complication of peptic ulcer disease.
Symptoms include hematemesis (vomiting of fresh blood or coffee-ground material), passage of bloody stools (hematochezia) or black tarry stools (melena), and weakness, orthostasis, syncope, thirst, and sweating caused by blood loss.
There is sudden, intense, continuous epigastric pain that spreads rapidly throughout the abdomen
abdominal muscles are rigid (boardlike)
Diagnosis of a free perforation is confirmed if a radiograph or CT scan shows free air under the diaphragm or in the peritoneal cavity.
Immediate surgery is required.
The ulcer may penetrate into the adjacent confined space (lesser sac) or another organ (eg, pancreas, liver).
usually the back when caused by penetration of a posterior duodenal ulcer into the pancreas
Symptoms include recurrent, large-volume vomiting, occurring more frequently at the end of the day and often as late as 6 hours after the last meal. Loss of appetite with persistent bloating or fullness after eating also suggests gastric outlet obstruction.
Patients with H. pylori–associated ulcers have a 3- to 6-fold increased risk of gastric cancer later in life.
There is no increased risk of cancer with ulcers of other etiology.
