Answer:

decrease absorption

Step-by-step explanation:

Cholestyramine has been discovered to cause serum aminotransferase elevations in some cases when combined with thiazide diuretics. This is because the cholesyramine is not absorbed, hence it becomes surprising that it have been discovered to cause asymptomatic serum enzyme elevations.
