2. Urea breath test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea_breath_test

   The urea breath test is a rapid diagnostic procedure used to identify infections by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral bacterium implicated in gastritis, gastric ulcer, and peptic ulcer disease. It is based upon the ability of H. pylori to convert urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide.

3. Helicobacter pylori - Wikipedia

   H. pylori serologic testing, including IgG antibodies, are not recommended as a test of eradication as they may remain elevated for years after successful treatment of infection. [135] An endoscopic biopsy is an invasive means to test for H. pylori infection. Low-level infections can be missed by biopsy, so multiple samples are recommended.

4. Rapid urease test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_urease_test

   Rapid urease test, also known as the CLO test (Campylobacter-like organism test), is a rapid diagnostic test for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori. [1] The basis of the test is the ability of H. pylori to secrete the urease enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide.

   The presence of Helicobacter pylori (in peptic ulcer disease) can be tested for with the urea breath test. Exhaled nitric oxide is a breath test that might signal airway inflammation such as in asthma. Breath tests for diseases have been developed for early detection of lung cancer, breast cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis and many others, to ...

6. Gastritis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastritis

   Gastritis caused by H. pylori infection is termed Helicobacter pylori induced gastritis, and listed as a disease in ICD11. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] More than 80% of individuals infected with the bacterium are asymptomatic and it has been postulated that it may play an important role in the natural stomach ecology.

7. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_intestinal_bacterial...

   The glycocholic acid breath test involves the administration of the bile acid 14 C glycocholic acid, and the detection of 14 CO 2, which would be elevated in bacterial overgrowth. [ citation needed ] However, some physicians suggest that if the suspicion of bacterial overgrowth is high enough, the best diagnostic test is a trial of treatment.
