Q

Workup for potential gastric ulcer:

A

EGD w/ bx can tell H. pylori, malign, benign.

Surgery if lesion persists after 12wks of treatment.

massive hematemesis

mucosal artery erodes into stomach. It’ll poke it’s ugly head in and out, you’ll see a patient with repeated history of negative endos but has hematemesis randomly

Q

If the mid epigastric pain improves with eating, what do we think?

A

Duodenal ulcer

31
Q

How do we diagnose duodenal ulcers?

A

blood, stool or breath test for H. pylori but endoscopy w/ biopsy (CLO test) is best b/c it can also exclude cancer.
