The Urea breath test (UBT) is a modern examination to diagnose\nstomach cancer (peptic ulcer) caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)\ninfection. The Urea Breath Test can help doctors diagnose stomach ulcers\nwithout causing pain or other complications, so patients can feel more\ncomfortable.<\/p>\n
Quoted from the Siloam Hospitals page, the Urea Breath Test aims to\nmonitor the effectiveness of treatment and ensure that the infection has\nbeen resolved.<\/p>\n
The factors that usually make a person at risk of being infected with\nthe H. pylori bacteria so that they need to undergo a urea breath test\nor Urea Breath Test are living in an environment with poor sanitation\nand high population density, and drinking water that has not been cooked\nproperly.<\/p>\n
Internal Medicine Specialist, Subspecialist in Gastroenterology and\nHepatology, dr. David Reinhard Sumantri Samosir, revealed that the Urea\nBreath Test can be one of the solutions to detect the presence of this\ncancer-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n
\u201cUBT is the primary choice of various non-invasive examinations to\ndetect H. pylori infection with high sensitivity and specificity,\u201d said\nDavid, quoted on Thursday (26\/2).<\/p>\n
In addition to early detection in patients with stomach complaints,\nthe Urea Breath Test also plays a vital role in evaluating the success\nof eradication therapy and monitoring the risk of recurrent infection.\nThis examination is an alternative to invasive procedures such as\nendoscopy and stomach biopsy.<\/p>\n
H. pylori bacteria are known to be dangerous because of their ability\nto produce urease enzymes that damage the stomach mucosa. Infections\nthat are left untreated can trigger various medical complaints, ranging\nfrom dyspepsia and gastritis to fatal conditions such as MALT\n(Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue) lymphoma and stomach cancer.<\/p>\n
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has even classified\nH. pylori as a class I carcinogenic bacterium. David also explained the\nlatest findings showing the link between this infection and the health\nof the large intestine.<\/p>\n
\u201cEarly detection and treatment are very important because they can\nhelp prevent polyps in the large intestine in adults,\u201d he concluded.\n(H-4)<\/p>\n
The Urea Breath Test (UBT) is the most accurate non-invasive method\nfor early detection of H. pylori bacteria that cause stomach cancer. See\nthe procedure and preparation.<\/p>\n
Stomach cancer is often detected late. The Urea Breath Test can help\nfind H. pylori infection, a major risk factor for stomach cancer,\nthrough an accurate, non-invasive breath test.<\/p>\n
