summary

Carbon 14 breath test is a kind of HP diagnosis method with high sensitivity in clinic, and it is accepted by the public because of its simple and painless. The normal value is 0-100. Today, let's introduce this new treatment method.

What is the cause of the disease in breath test

First: Helicobacter pylori can cause a variety of gastric diseases, including gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, non ulcer dyspepsia, gastric cancer and so on. Therefore, eradication of Helicobacter pylori has become an important measure in the treatment of modern gastrointestinal diseases. So carbon 14 is used to detect whether patients have Helicobacter pylori infection.

Second, HP can produce urease with high activity. When patients take carbon 14 labeled urea, if HP infection exists in the stomach, urease in the stomach can decompose urea into ammonia and carbon 14 labeled CO2. Carbon 14 labeled CO2 is exhaled through the blood, and the exhaled gas is collected regularly to judge the patient's condition through analysis.

Third: this method is suitable for many people, such as dyspepsia, clinical suspected Helicobacter pylori infection, acute and chronic gastritis and gastric, duodenal ulcer, mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma patients. Prevention of gastric cancer or family history of gastric cancer.
