Nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and despite improvements in the management of patients with this condition, there have only been moderate improvements in mortality rates. This Review discusses the diagnosis of UGIB and describes the optimal management of patients with this condition, in accordance with the current consensus recommendations and contemporary literature. The authors examine endoscopy, management of bleeding and pharmacological therapy for patients with UGIB.
