Peptic Ulcer disease
PUD
5 etiologies
- H. Pylori (#1 common)
- NSAIDS
- Malignancy
- Curling Ulcers
- Cushing Ulcers
- Gastrinomas
Ulcer appearance:
- Shallow & multiple (NSAID)
- large heaped margins & necr. centers (malignancy)
- single ulcer (may be H Pylori)
- refractory, multiple, w/ diarrhea (Gastrinoma)
History correlates:
- Burns (Curling)
- Cushing (hi ICP, steroids ventilators) :warning: use PPI, feed w/ NG tube trickle feed
s/s: Asx (20%)
Problems the ulcer causes:
- GI bleed,
- perforation,
- gastric outlet obstruction
Symptomatic s/s: "Nawing" epigastric pain related to food.
- worse when eating (postprandial):
- worse hours postprandial:
:pencil2:take w/ a grain of salt, this is not accurate in real life. Do not rely on history alone, but shelf logic is ok
Dx: EGD w/ biopsy
:pencil2:r/o malignancy, H pylori, and actually see the ulcer
:checkered_flag: Tx:
- :no_entry:Stop Smoking :smoking:
- :no_entry:Stop ETOH :beer:
- :no_entry: Stop NSAID
- :pencil2: no matter what: PPI
:pencil2: Acid Suppression therapy? (H2 blockers, sucralfate, misoprostol, etc) general answer PPI hi does tx, low dose prophy (as when restarting NSAID after recovery
-
H Pylori
Dx:
:checkered_flag:Tx: Triple Therapy
- Clarithromycin
- amoxacillin (or Metronidazole if PCN allergy)
- PPI
EGD w/ biopsy
Better than others, w/ 3 types:
- rapid urease (color change)
- culture (expensive/slow)
- :stars:histology (v. useful, #1 best answer)
Serology
Cost effective: Test & Treat method
:pencil2: good if pt never been treated, hasn't been H Pylori + before

Zollinger Ellison

What?
Gastrinoma
- Lots of Gastrin
- lots of acid
- inappropriate pH
s/s: Big, virulent, refractory ulcers w/ diarrhea :poop:
