urgent if: mass found (2 week)

>55 and weight loss with dyspepsia/reflux/pain (2 week OGD)

non urgent: haematesis (vomiting blood)
>55 and treatemnt resistant dyspepsia, pain with low haem, platlet with anything else or vomititng with anything else

20
Q

7 tests used for mr muller

A

-ECG (pain to see if its coronary heart disease causing ischaemia
-weight
-alcohol history (varices, 14 units a week )

- Carbon 13:disadv other meds influence and fasting needed and specialist equiment -ureaese
- serum serology: igM poorly sensitive and igG (dk if curret) - human antigen

A

Carbonic anhydrase ->
bicrabonate exchange from cl-
h+ INTO LUMEN VIA H/K antiporter (proton pump (gastric hydrogen potassium ATPase)
Atpase for K in then K diffuses into lumen then out again^
cl- diffuses in through channels

24
Q

A

1) H2 receptors
2) gastrin rceeptors
3) acetylcholine receptors
