Comparative Study of Autologous Blood Injection Versus Diluted Epinephrine in Treating Actively Bleeding Gastroduodenal Ulcers

Endoscopic Injection of Autologous Blood Versus Diluted Epinephrine for Control of Actively Bleeding Gastroduodenal Ulcers

Endoscopic injection of autologous blood can control bleeding from gastroduodenal ulcers.

To test the hypothesis that endoscopic injection of autologous blood is superior to endoscopic injection of diluted epinephrine in controlling bleeding from gastroduodenal ulcers.

Inclusion Criteria:

• all adult patients with gastroduodenal ulcer

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with non ulcer bleeding.
• Patients with malignancy.
• Patients with bleeding disorders or under coagulation therapy.
• Patients with known allergy to epinephrine.
