Urea Breath Test For Helicobacter Pylori (M)

The Urea Breath Test for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to detect an active Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach. H. pylori is a bacterium that can cause gastritis, peptic ulcers, and is associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer if left untreated. During the test, the patient drinks a solution containing urea. If H. pylori is present, the bacteria break down the urea, producing carbon dioxide that is detected in the breath sample.

This test is recommended for individuals with persistent stomach pain, indigestion, bloating, nausea, frequent burping, acid reflux, or suspected peptic ulcer disease. It is also widely used to confirm that H. pylori infection has been successfully eradicated after treatment. The Urea Breath Test is highly accurate, painless, and does not require blood collection. At Nidan Pathology Lab, we provide NABL-accredited testing, advanced diagnostic technology, and accurate, timely reports to support the diagnosis and effective management of H. pylori-related stomach disorders.
