What is Urea Breath Test?

The Urea Breath Test is a non-invasive procedure used to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria in your stomach. It works by measuring specific gases in your breath after consuming a special solution.

Why is this test important?

H. pylori infection is a common cause of stomach ulcers, gastritis, and can increase the risk of stomach cancer. This test is vital for diagnosing the infection and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.

How to Prepare

Fasting for at least 6 hours before the test is required. You may also need to stop certain medications, such as antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), several weeks prior.
