more H+ and less K

less bic and bile reabsorption

87
Q

A

chronic inflammation + mucosal atrophy + increase risk of cancer

cause –> H+ pump and autoantibodies –> gastric mucosa atrophy and less secretions –> ulcers, pernicious anemia, bleeding, cancer

acid secretion or muscle spasm

relieved by antacids and meal

remission/exacerbation

Q

what is gastric ulcers?

A

more HCl secretion
defective mucosa barrier

no remission-exacerb
increase cancer
