Overview

Peptic ulcer disease must be differentiated from other causes of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding such as esophageal varices, Mallory-Weiss syndrome, gastrointestinal cancer, arteriovenous malformations, esophagitis, and esophageal ulcer. Peptic ulcer disease must also be differentiated from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.

Differentiating Peptic Ulcer from other Diseases

Peptic ulcer disease must be differentiated from other diseases that presents with epigastric pain such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]^[18]
