Characteristics of peptic ulcer bleeding in cirrhotic patients with esophageal and gastric varices. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractUpper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is common in liver cirrhosis. Although esophageal and gastric varices (EGV) is the main bleeding source, there were still a proportion of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the characteristic of variceal bleeding and peptic ulcer bleeding in liver cirrhosis.
