PUD & gastritis Flashcards
differentiate PUD from gastritis & gastropathy
- Gastritis: precursor to PUD; hard to differentiate; inflammation associated w/ mucosal injury; symptoms jus like PUD
- PUD: mucosal defect in GI tract exposed to acid and pepsin secretion
- Gastropathy: epithelial cell damage and regeneration +/- inflammation; secondary to irritants
common causes of gastritis
H. pylori
NSAIDs, radiation, allergic, autoimmune, duodenitis
location of GU vs DU?
GU in antrum
DU in bulb
how do ulcers development
- buffered surface mucous layer with rapid epithelial turnover or tight junctions
- deficient protective prostagladins (less bicarb/mucous)
high risk vs low risk NSAIDs
- high risk: feldene/proxicam, ketorolac/toradol, indomethacin
- low risk: celebrex, under 1500mg/day ibuprofen, etc
who is at risk for NSAID induced PUD (3)
- prior hx of adverse GI event
- over 60 yo
- high dose NSAID + steroid or anticoag
differentiate DU from GU
- DU> GU
- DU always nonmalignant & feels better with eating (weight gain)
- GU is typically benign but can be malignant; feels worse after eating
ulcers in which location requires repeat endoscopy after acid suppression treatment & documentation & biopsy
gastric
describe sx of PUD and 3 associated sx
what is this condition
epigastric pain (burning or gnawing) around meals or at night that is relieved by antacids or vomiting
* dyspepsia, hematemesis or melena
where does NSAID vs h.pylori induced ulcers occur? which shows more severe bleeding?
- h. pylori is more in duodenum and superficial; less severe bleeding
- NSAIDs in deep and in stomach; more severe bleeding and sometimes asymptomatic
list 3 complications of PUD and which is most common?
bleeding: most common
gastric outlet obstruction
perforation: top cause of pneumoperitoneum
best initial diagnostic study for perforated peptic ulcer?
upright abdominal plain films
morphology of H. pylori
spiral gram - rod w/ flagella
secreates urease which converts urea to amonia
produves alkaline environment
diseases associated with PUD– increases risk (3) & hypersecretory ones (2)
- hypersecretory– gastrinoma (zollinger-ellison), MEN-1
- increased risk–cirrhosis, chronic pulm dz, renal fail
3 PE findings of PUD
- mild epigastric tenderness
- maybe melena/guaiac + stool
- peritonitis with perforation
