Helicobacter pylori infection is a common cause of digestive issues, such as ulcers and gastritis. The 13C urea breath test has become a widely trusted method for diagnosing this infection, thanks to its non-invasive nature and high accuracy. Headway’s non-invasive 13C urea breath test kit offers a simple, effective, and comfortable way to detect H. pylori infection.
Principle of the 13C Urea Breath Test for H. pylori
The 13C urea breath test for H. pylori works by detecting the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach. After the patient swallows a capsule containing 13C-labeled urea, the urease enzyme produced by the bacteria breaks down the urea into carbon dioxide (CO2) marked with the stable isotope 13C. This CO2 is then exhaled and captured in a collection bag, where it is measured by a detection device. The test is highly accurate and can confirm the presence of H. pylori without the need for invasive procedures like gastroscopy.
Non-Invasive and Safe for All Ages
One of the key advantages of Headway’s non-invasive 13C urea breath test kit is its simplicity. Patients only need to swallow a capsule and exhale into a collection bag. There is no need for blood samples or invasive endoscopic procedures, making the test comfortable and stress-free. The test is also safe for a wide range of patients, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly, as it uses a stable, non-radioactive isotope of carbon that is harmless to the body.
