Helicobacter pylori C13

Both carbon 13 and carbon 14 detection methods are used to detect Helicobacter pylori. Many people in life think that if they are accidentally infected with Helicobacter pylori, it is very scary, because it will not only cause gastritis but also gastric cancer. If you accidentally get gastric cancer, it is equivalent to a terminal illness. Therefore, when you find that you have Helicobacter pylori in your body, you must take some related medicines. So what is the detection principle of Helicobacter pylori carbon 13?

The principle is to detect whether Helicobacter pylori is in the stomach by using the urease of Helicobacter pylori to decompose urea to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. The carbons in urea are labeled as carbon 13 or carbon 14. When the carbon dioxide content containing carbon 13 or carbon 14 atoms reaches dob greater than or equal to 4, it means that the person is infected with Helicobacter pylori. Must be treated and eradicated. However, although carbon 14 is cheap, it is highly radioactive with a half-life of 5730 years, and cannot be tested in pregnant women and children. Carbon 13 does not have this requirement, is safe and stable, and the test results are accurate. Many foreign countries have banned carbon 14 testing.

1. It is best to take carbon 13 in the form of powder or granules of urea, which has a short disintegration time and can quickly cover the entire stomach. Urea tablets are difficult to break down quickly in the stomach and difficult to cover the entire stomach. They are only effective around the drug. Moreover, the disintegration time is different, and the test values ​​are inaccurate. Some tablets are not completely decomposed in the stomach even after half an hour.

2. Acidic auxiliary materials must be added to urea. Helicobacter pylori survives in an acidic environment. When the acidity is weak, it will be in a dormant state. Adding acidic substances to the urea reagent will activate the dormant Helicobacter pylori, allowing accurate detection and avoiding false negatives. Urea tastes very bad, so you need to add some lemon-flavored ingredients to make it easier for children to accept. As for the price, carbon 13 is over 200 and carbon 14 is around 100. There are differences among provinces.

It is considered that it is caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, gastritis or gastric ulcer. Guidance: Hello, in the current situation, pay attention to rest and nutrition, do not eat spicy food, you can take Vidashu oral solution, omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and amoxicillin capsules for treatment, and cooperate with gastroscopy if necessary.

The examination only indicates whether there is an infection. An elevated level indicates infection with this bacteria. The severity is not apparent. The high or low value does not necessarily represent the amount of bacteria infected. Guidance: You can eat all of what you said. This bacteria cannot be eliminated by paying attention to your daily diet. Treatment requires a combination of three or four drugs for one to two weeks. But if there are no symptoms, it is not necessary to treat it. More than half of the people in our country are infected with this bacteria.
