Differentiating Peptic Ulcer from other Diseases
- Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding: PUD accounts for the majority of acute episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding[1] (up to 40%)[2], but there are other causes:[3]
- Esophageal varices: history of cirrhosis (and portal hypertension)
- Mallory-Weiss syndrome: history of repeated vomiting
- Gastrointestinal cancer: history of anorexia or weight loss, tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking.
- Arteriovenous malformations: Painless bleeding in >70 years old patients, history of iron deficiency anemia.
- Esophagitis or esophageal ulcer: heartburn, indigestion, or dysphagia
- Dieulafoy ulcer: painless bleeding
- Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
- Basophilic leukemia
- Chronic debilitated conditions
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Chronic Renal Failure
- Cirrhosis
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Glucosteroids
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Incompetant gastroesophageal sphincter
- Severe systemic disease
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
