Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
OBJECTVE: Upper gastro intestinal bleeding is a common life threatening emergency resulting in a large number of hospital admission. Peptic ulcers are the most common cause of UGIB. Helicobacter pylori plays a pivotal role in the aetiology of peptic ulcer disease and eradication of infection has been known to alter the course of peptic ulcer disease. The present study was undertaken with the aim of studying the aetiological profile of upper gastrointestinal bleeding along with the frequency of helicobacter pylori infection in peptic ulcer disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The total of 120 cases admitted between 1st September 2010 to 31st August 2011 and more than 13 years of age, presenting with haematemesis and or malaena were enrolled for the study. They were subjected to upper GI endoscopy after stabilisation. Causes of UGIB was assessed and biopsy material taken in patients with peptic ulcer disease for Rapid Urease test to detect presence of Hpylori. RESULTS: The most common cause of UGIB was found to be peptic ulcer disease (54.16%) , followed by gastroesophageal varies 24.16%, erosive mucosal disease (14.17%), neoplastic lesion (3.33%) malory weiss tear (1.67%) and normal endoscopy was found in 2.5%. Helicobacter pylori infection was found in 56.92% patients with peptic ulcer disease, with higher incidence in duodenal ulcers (62.54%) then in gastric ulcer (48%) CONCLUSION: The present study shows that peptic ulcer disease is the most common cause of UGIB followed by gastro esophageal varices in this part of the country. Helicobacter pylori is commonly associated with peptic ulcer disease. Hence it should be detected and treatment initiated for the effective recovery.
