THE ABCA2 IS THE ULTIMATE INSTRUMENT FOR HELICOBATER PYLORI DETECTION C is a non-radioactive, naturally occurring stable isotope which is used to label a specific metabolic substrate. The patient ingests and metabolises the substance, such as urea, in such a way that the 13C is released as 13CO2 and expelled in the patient’s breath. The level of 13CO2 measured in the breath is used to determine a particular metabolic disorder. 13 The ABCA2 provides a rapid, accurate and sensitive analysis of the metabolic product so providing an unparalleled level of precision, accuracy and reliability while...

THE UREA BREATH TEST (UBT): • In 2010, the worldwide prevalence of H Pylori infection ranged between 7% and 87%. The average prevalence in Europe is around 30%. • The UBT using 13C-urea remains the best test to diagnose H pylori infection, it has a high accuracy and is easy to perform. • For UBT, sensitivity is 88-95% and specificity 95%-100%. • The UBT is an excellent test H Pylori eradication after treatment. • Early eradication of H Pylori was shown to prevent gastric cancer in patients with peptic ulcer disease.
