Core Tip	Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is still accompanied by a significant mortality rate in older patients. Causes of UGIB are ulcers, Mallory-Weiss lesions, erosions, esophagitis or angiodysplasia. Endoscopy offers the localisation of the bleeding site as well as a variety of therapeutic measures. Patients with peptic lesions are effectively treated with proton pump inhibitors. Helicobacter pylori is a risk factor for the genesis of peptic ulcers and eradication therapy should be given if it is present.
