Q

what does coeliac disease increase your risk of

A

developing a lymphoma

31
Q

how do NSAIDs have adverse affects on the GI tract

A

reduce prostoglandin production

32
Q

what do prostoglandins do

increase vascular permeability, cause vascular dilation and coagulation

cox

34
Q

what do cox enzymes convert

35
Q

affect of blocking prostoglandins in the GI

A

reduces blood flow in the mucosa, reduces gastric acid secretion and increases bicarbonate
