Common causes [1]
- Helicobacter pylori (60% gastric and 50-75% duodenal ulcers )
- Drugs-NSAIDs including aspirin[2]
Less common causes of peptic ulcer disease
- Hormonal or mediator-induced including secondary acid hypersecretory states
- Antral g - cell hyperfunction
- Post-surgical -Antral exclusion and post gastric bypass surgery
- Tumors-cancers and lymphoma
- Cameron ulcer (gastric ulcer where a hiatus hernia passes through the diaphragmatic hiatus)
- True idiopathic ulcer.
Rare causes of peptic ulcer disease [1]
- Crohn’s disease of the stomach or duodenum
- Eosinophilic gastroduodenitis
- Systemic mastocytosis
- Radiation damage
- Viral infections (eg cytomegalovirus or herpes simplex infection, in particular in immunocompromised patients)
- Colonisation of stomach with H heilmanii
- Severe systemic disease
Genetic causes -[3]
- Peptic ulcer disease is caused by gastrinomas (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)caused by a mutation in MEN gene present on chromosome 11q13.
Causes by organ system
- To obtain the coding for the table seen below, click here. You need to copy the table content from the edit box, and paste it into the edit box.
- You can then list the causes by organ system. List the causes, separated by a comma under the appropriate category where it says "No underlying causes". Erase "No underlying causes" if you are listing causes in that category.
