Pathophysiology and modern treatment of ulcer disease (Review)

Abstract: Abstract. This is an overview of the pathophysiological abnormalities of gastroduodenal (GD) ulcers [duodenal ulcer (DU), gastric ulcer (GU) and Dragstedt ulcers (combined DU and GD)], as well as the effects of the different treatments (surgical, medicinal and physiological) described since the introduction of stomach resections. The intention is to demonstrate whether the peptic ulcer diseases are a homogeneous entity with a characteristic pathophysiology or whether they represent the final expression of many… Show more

“…We suggest that impaired gastric emptying related to declining renal function may explain this phenomenon [26]. Accelerated gastric emptying contributes to the risk of DU [27]; therefore, impaired gastric emptying related to uremia may damage gastric mucosa and increase the risk of GU [26], [27].…”

“…There have recently been extraordinary advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of PU [1][2][3] . It is generally accepted that it results from an imbalance between gastric aggressive factors and maintenance of the mucosal integrity through an endogenous defense mechanism [5] .…”
