[The characteristics of duodenal peptic ulcer in obese persons]
Abstract:
Analysis was made of the rate of clinical manifestations and complications in 77 patients with overweight exceeding stage I obesity, suffering from duodenal ulcer. In the overwhelming majority of the patients, the disease ran with typical complaints and the diagnosis of peptic ulcer was not difficult. In subjects prone to and suffering from obesity, duodenal ulcer accounted for 2.3% among all the patients with duodenal ulcers. The patients were noted to be fairly prone to complications, particularly to the stenosing of the duodenum. Concomitant complications occurred frequently enough (36.3%). In obese patients, nontypical "low" localization of duodenal ulcer and a high proneness to hypersecretion were encountered more frequently.
