    Study Notes

    Peptic Ulcer Disease Overview

    • Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus
    • Duodenal ulcers are most common in people aged 30-50, while gastric ulcers are more common in those over 60
    • NSAIDs, such as aspirin, can decrease mucous and bicarbonate secretion, leading to peptic ulcers
    • NSAIDs inhibit cyclooxygenase activity, reducing prostaglandin production and increasing the risk of ulcers
    • Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID use are common causes of peptic ulcers
    • Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES) is characterized by gastrin-producing tumors that can lead to ulcers
    • Smoking impairs ulcer healing and increases the risk of recurrence
    • Dietary factors, such as coffee and tea, may cause dyspepsia but do not increase the risk of developing PUD
    • Upper GI endoscopy is used to visualize and diagnose peptic ulcers
    • Tests for Helicobacter pylori include urea breath test, rapid urease testing, and serological antibody detection
    • Symptoms of peptic ulcers include epigastric pain, heartburn, belching, bloating, and hunger
    • Recurrence of peptic ulcers may be asymptomatic, and the severity of symptoms depends on location, etiology, and age
