PUD it is...
Btw wt do we mean by "upper"?
This is defined as a bleeding source proximal to the Ligament of Treitz, also known as the suspensory muscle of duodenum, the landmark that separates the duodenum & jejunum

Back to PUD, there are actually many well established causes and some associated factors related to its development, the most important being:
💊 Drugs - NSAIDs/aspirin, direct chemical/erosive agents etc
🦠Bugs - H. pylori
♋ Thugs (if I may) - Neoplasm
