Some causes for hematemesis:
Peptic ulcer disease is the most common etiology of upper GI bleeding
–Increased risk with NSAID, steroid, or alcohol use; smoking, stress (e.g., ICU and trauma patients), or infections (Helicobacter pylori, CMV, herpes simplex virus)
Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal sources of bleeding
Esophageal etiologies
–Esophageal varices (common in alcoholics and cirrhotic patients)
–Erosive esophagitis: Infectious (e.g., Candida, HSV, CMV), corrosive ingestion, or pill-induced
–Esophageal or gastric carcinoma
–Esophageal or gastric polyps
Gastric etiologies
–Gastric ulcer
–Gastritis
–Arteriovenous malformations: Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (cutaneous telangectasias, recurrent nosebleeds), idiopathic angiomas, radiation-induced telangectasias, blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome
–Mallory-Weiss tear secondary to repetitive vomiting
–Dieulafoy's lesion: Erosion of the mucosa overlying an artery in the stomach causes necrosis of the arterial wall and resultant hemorrhage
–Gastric varices: Secondary to splenic vein thrombosis
–Benign or malignant tumors
Duodenal etiologies
–Duodenal ulcer
–Erosion of a pancreatic tumor into the duodenum
–Aortoenteric fistula: Must be suspected in any patient with a known aortic graft (e.g., prior AAA repair or occlusive aortic disease)
Systemic etiologies
–Coagulopathies (e.g., hemophilia)
–Thrombocytopenia
–Anticoagulation therapy (e.g., warfarin)
–Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
–Leukemia
–Connective tissue disease
