Peptic ulcer (PU) of the stomach (PU) and duodenum (DU) remains an urgent medical, biological and social problem today. In reality, there are relative and absolute increases in incidence. The relative increase is explained by improved diagnostics. According to the gastroenterological hospitals of Tatarstan, the number of endoscopically confirmed diagnoses of PU is almost 2 times higher than the number of clinical and radiological findings. The absolute growth is alarming, which is largely facilitated by the social tension syndrome as a companion of the political and economic crises.
