Common causes [1]

  • Helicobacter pylori(60% gastric and 50-75% duodenal ulcers )
  • Drugs-NSAIDs including aspirin[2]

Less common causes of peptic ulcer disease

  • Hormonal or mediator-induced including secondary acid hypersecretory states
    • Gastrinomas
    • Systemic mastocytosis
    • Carcinoid syndrome
    • Myeloproliferative disorder
  • Antral g - cell hyperfunction
  • Post-surgical -Antral exclusion and post gastric bypass surgery
  • Tumors-cancers and lymphoma
  • Cameron ulcer (gastric ulcer where a hiatus hernia passes through the diaphragmatic hiatus)
  • True idiopathic ulcer.

Rare causes of peptic ulcer disease [1]

  • Crohn’s disease of the stomach or duodenum
  • Eosinophilic gastroduodenitis
  • Systemic mastocytosis
  • Radiation damage
  • Viral infections (eg cytomegalovirus or herpes simplex infection, in particular in immunocompromised patients)
  • Colonisation of stomach with H heilmanii
  • Severe systemic disease


Genetic causes -[3]

  • Peptic ulcer disease is caused by gastrinomas (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)caused by a mutation in MEN gene present on chromosome 11q13.

Causes by organ system

  • To obtain the coding for the table seen below, click here. You need to copy the table content from the edit box, and paste it into the edit box.
  • You can then list the causes by organ system. List the causes, separated by a comma under the appropriate category where it says "No underlying causes". Erase "No underlying causes" if you are listing causes in that category.
  • For an example of the causes by organ system table in a causes microchapter, click here.
