Abstract: Upper-gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) secondary to peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a severe medical condition that is related to considerable morbidity, high health care costs, and reduced lifestyle, patients believed to have UGIB secondary to PUD need immediate medical attention.. Main goal of this current study was to focus on the complications and management of Upper-gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) which is secondary to peptic ulcer disease (PUD), through reviewing the literature concerning this condition. In MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science databases search was performed for all studies published throughout the past 3 decades up to December 2016. This search was without language restriction, and involving articles with human subject discussion. We search for relevant articles which were discussing the upper-gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) which caused by peptic ulcer disease, and mainly those studies which review and evaluate the management of UGIB. Management of the patient providing with obvious bleeding earnings in a step-wise manner. The first step is assessment of hemodynamic status and initiation of resuscitative steps as required. Patients are risk stratified based upon scientific functions such as hemodynamic status, comorbidities, age, and preliminary laboratory tests. The majority of patients need to receive an upper endoscopy within 24 h or less, and endoscopic functions of the ulcer help in directing further management.
