AB Peptic  ulcers  are  lesions  in  the  stomach  or  duodenum  that  extend  deeper  into  the  gastrointestinal  (GI)  tract  than  other  acid  related  disorders.  These  lesions  develop  in  response  to  damage  by  gastric  acid  and  pepsin.  Gastric  ulcers  occur  primarily  on  the  lesser  curvature,  but  may  occur  anywhere  in  the  stomach.  In  contrast,  duodenal  ulcers  occur  in  the  first  part  of  the  duodenum.  Peptic  ulcer  disease  (PUD)  is  divided  into  three  forms:  (1)  Helicobacter  pylori  (H.  pylori)  induced;  (2)  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drug  (NSAID)  induced;  and  (3)  stress  related  mucosal  damage  (SRMD).  A  comparison  of  characteristics  of  peptic  ulcer  are  summarized  in  Table  43-1.
