The 13C-urea breath test (UBT) is currently regarded as one of the most important noninvasive diagnostic methods for detecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in adults and children. However, for infants and young children, the standard for UBT interpretation has not been validated, ...
There are two types of urea breath tests for h pylori, the C14 urea breath test and an improved version of the test known as the C13 urea breath test. Both tests work on the principal that helicobactor pylori is able to break down urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. This carbon ...

METHODS: Pretreatment (n = 203) and post-treatment (n = 147) detection of H. pylori. Additional tests with encapsulated 14C-urea (n = 37) were validated. After intake of liquid or encapsulated 14C-urea, exhaled 14CO2 in breath was trapped in benzethoniumhydroxide/ethanol, or adsorbed to ...
In February 2023, Quest Diagnostics transitioned the H pylori Urea Breath Test (UBT) to a new test platform. This conversion resulted in the implementation of a new Urea Breath Test collection kit, the PyloPlus™ UBT kit. This FAQ addresses key questions and highlights important information ...
(first part of the small intestine). If left untreated, H. pylori bacteria can cause gastritis (an inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining) and duodenal or gastric ulcers. In addition, infection with H. pylori increases the risk of other diseases and is also a risk factor for ...
OBJECTIVE: It has been determined that the [13C]urea breath test (UBT) is a safe and effective way of detecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Some individuals may have difficulty performing the exhalation component of the test, possibly due to age,...
The high urease activity of Helicobacter pylori can be used to detect this bacterium by noninvasive breath tests. We have developed a 14C-urea breath test which uses 5 microCi 14C with 50 mg nonradioactive urea. Breath samples are collected at baseline and every 30 min for 2 h. Our study...
