Patho UGIB

This document describes the risk factors, symptoms, and pathophysiology of peptic ulcers. A 56-year-old Filipino man with a history of heart disease and kidney disease presents with joint pain and stiffness. His risk factors include an unhealthy diet, hypertension, use of NSAIDs, and a family history of heart and inflammatory conditions. Peptic ulcers develop when NSAIDs damage the mucosal barrier, decreasing mucus production and allowing acid to injure the stomach lining, potentially leading to ulceration and bleeding.
