AB  - Peptic  ulcer  disease  (PUD)  occurs  most  commonly  in  duodenal  bulb  (duodenal  ulcer,  DU)  and  stomach  (gastric  ulcer,  GU).  It  may  also  occur  in  esophagus,  pyloric  channel,  duodenal  loop,  jejunum,  and  Meckel’s  diverticulum.  PUD  results  when  “aggressive”  factors  (gastric  acid,  pepsin)  overwhelm  “defensive”  factors  involved  in  mucosal  resistance  (gastric  mucus,  bicarbonate,  microcirculation,  prostaglandins,  mucosal  “barrier”)  and  from  effects  of  Helicobacter  pylori.
