SOLVED2250

Which patient statement(s) supports a diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease? Though not all patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) present with symptoms, the most common complaints include epigastric pain described as burning, fullness, discomfort, gnawing, cramping, or aching. The severity and frequency of the pain can fluctuate, and some patients report worsening at night. Often, heartburn, belching and bloating accompany the pain. Symptom presentation is dependent on the location of the ulcer. H. pylori-associated ulcers are more commonly found in the duodenum, while stomach ulcers are more often associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). More severe signs, symptoms, and certain risk factors include an unintentional weight loss not gain. Page Number and Header 544-545, Diagnostic criteria Learning Objective 5
