Symptoms of Gastritis and Peptic ulcer disease:

Pathophysiology:

Acid and pepsin levels that are too high can lead to acid peptic diseases. The gastric and duodenal ulcer are the two main varieties of acid peptic diseases. The acid corrodes and injures the unprotected gastric mucsa and pepsin also plays vital role in it.

But they can also happen at Meckel's diverticulum, the lower end of the oesophagus, and the GJ Stoma. Acute or chronic symptoms can be present for a long time or be more complicated.
