dc.description.abstractBackground: Acid Peptic Diseases (APD) is a common disorder. Population based survey revealed that 44% of the population reported monthly heartburn and 19.8% suffered from heartburn or acid regurgitation at least once a week. Endoscopy is the most sensitive diagnostic test for peptic ulcers. In this study, we are going to study the clinical features and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings in patients presenting in our centre in order to come to a precise diagnosis. Methods: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy will be performed by faculty members in all study subjects as a primary diagnostic investigation and interpretation of the findings as observed by a single observer was noted. Results: Most common finding in endoscopy in oesophagus was erosions in 15% (15) of cases which varied from mild, moderate to severe erosions. This was followed by erythema, ulcers and hiatus hernia 6% of cases (6 each). Barrett`s oesophagus was seen in 3% of total cases (3). Carcinoma and varices was found in 1 case each. Lax OG junction was found to be in 36% (36) of the patients. Endoscopic findings of stomach shows varies lesions seen during gastroscopy in which 15% (15 cases) had Erosions, 7% (7 cases) had severe circumferential erosions, 5% (5 cases) had gastric ulcers. Erythema, growth at pylorus and polyp was seen in 2% (2 cases) each. Conclusion: Need to provide awareness regarding endoscopy diagnostic technique for patients with prolonged APD, so that it will aid to provide appropriate treatment.en_US
