Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) Flashcards
Pepsinogen
Secreted by chief cells, breaks down proteins
Inactive form of pepsin
HCL
Secreted by parietal cells, breaks down food
Activates pepsinogen
Intrinsic factor
Secreted by parietal cells
Vitamin B absorption
Protective factors
Mucus and bicarbonate (basic)
Dyspepsia
Imbalance between aggressive and protective factors in the stomach
GERD
Gastroesophagel Reflux Disease “Heartburn”
Acidic contents of stomach move upward into esophagus when stomach contracts due to decreased lower esophagel sphincter tone
GERD Stages Treatment
1-H2 antagonist and antacids as needed
2-H2 antagonist
3-proton pump inhibitors (ppi)
PUD
Peptic Ulcer Disease
Erosion of the mucosal layer of the GI tract along with acute inflammation
Location/Cause of PUD
Duodenum (most common)
Usually correlated with H pylori infection
H pylori Antibiotics
Clarithromycin
Amoxicillin
metronidazole
tetracycline
Triple therapy (H pylori)
PPI +clarithromycin +amoxicillin/metronidazole/or tetracycline
Quadruple Therapy (H pyloro)
PPI + metronidazole + pepto + tetracycline
H2 Receptor antagonist (-tidine) MOA
Decrease stomach acid through suppressing volume and acidity of parietal cell secretions
*H2 only found in stomach
Available otc for gerd short term
H2 receptor antagonists drugs
Cimetidine(tagamet)
Famotidine(pepcid)
Ranitidine(Zantac)
Cimetidine (tagamet)
*Inhibits p450 enzymes
First drug
Females dec alcohol metabolism
Males inc estradiol, gynecomastia
