Peptic ulcer remains a significant public health problem; it has been estimated that 5-10% of the population is at risk of developing this disease in their lifetime, with considerable social and economic losses.The study of blood grouping is very significant as it plays an important role in genetics, blood transfusion, forensic pathology and may have some association with diseases like duodenal ulcer, diabetes mellitus, urinary tract infection.
