    There are many potential causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which are usually classified based on their location in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. Common causes include esophageal and gastric ulcers, gastric cancer, esophageal and gastric varices, and duodenal ulcers. Medications like NSAIDs and SSRIs can also increase the risk of bleeding. The causes often require different treatment approaches depending on whether the source of bleeding is from varices or non-variceal sites.

    Causes[edit source | editbeta]

    Gastric ulcer in antrum of stomach with overlying clot. Pathology was consistent with gastric lymphoma.

    A number of medications increase the risk of bleeding including NSAIDs and SSRIs. SSRIs double the [1] rate of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. There are many causes for upper GI hemorrhage. Causes are usually anatomically divided into their location in the upper gastrointestinal tract. People are usually stratified into having either variceal or non-variceal sources of upper GI hemorrhage, as the two have different treatment algorithms and prognosis. The causes for upper GI hemorrhage include the following: Esophageal causes: Esophageal varices Esophagitis Esophageal cancer Esophageal ulcers Mallory-Weiss tear

    Gastric causes: Gastric ulcer Gastric cancer Gastritis Gastric varices Gastric antral vascular ectasia

    Dieulafoy's lesions

    Duodenal causes: Duodenal ulcer Vascular malformation, including aorto-enteric fistulae. Fistulae are usually secondary to prior vascular surgery and usually occur at the proximal anastomosis at the third or fourth portion of the duodenum where it is retroperitoneal and near the aorta. Hematobilia, or bleeding from the biliary tree Hemosuccus pancreaticus, or bleeding from the pancreatic duct Severe superior mesenteric artery syndrome
