Etiology of Non-variceal Bleeding of upper Gastrointestinal System: A Brief Review
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 11
Abstract
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) has important morbidity and mortality risk and these risk increases when co-morbidities exist. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use and Helicobacter Pylori infection are risk factors for peptic ulcer bleeding. Peptic ulcer disease is the most common cause of non variceal UGB. However, other rare causes should be responsible for UGB especially in treatment resistant cases.
