-cigs
-critical illness
-dietary factors
PUD pathophysiology
-acid and pepsin overcome mucosal defense
Clinical presentation of h. pylori PUD
-chronic
-duodenum more than tummy
-more dependent on gas pH
-superficial ulcer
-less severe GI bleeding
NSAID and stress PUD clinical presentation
-chronic

H. Pylori induced PUD
-bacteria bind to wall
-colonize gastric acid
-acid damages tissue and leads to ulcer
H. pylori PUD diagnosis
-endoscopy
-antibody detect
-urea breath test
-fecal antigen
Principles of H. Pylori Tx
-several diff regimens
