Testing forH. 1x 베팅 주소

What symptoms indicate that you should get tested forH. 1x 베팅 주소?

Patients diagnosed with stomach 1x 베팅 주소 duodenal ulcers, gastritis, gastric MALT lymphoma, or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), 1x 베팅 주소 those who have recently had endoscopic treatment for early gastric cancer can get tested under Japan's national health insurance system. If you are concerned about a family history of gastric cancer or always seem to have stomach trouble, ask your doctor for advice. In Japan, you can get tested forH. 1x 베팅 주소during your annual health check-up at your request 1x 베팅 주소 own expense.

Tests to DetectH. 1x 베팅 주소

To detectH. 1x 베팅 주소, both endoscopic methods 1x 베팅 주소 non-endoscopic tests can be used.

Methods that do not use an endoscope

1x 베팅 주소 biggest advantage of non-endoscopic tests is that 1x 베팅 주소 people do not need to undergo an invasive endoscopy. Diagnoses by tests that do not use an endoscope are called sectional diagnoses, because 1x 베팅 주소y allow a diagnosis for 1x 베팅 주소 entire stomach.

Urea breath test
Patients take a diagnostic drug, 1x 베팅 주소 exhale into a collection device. Exhaled breath samples are collected before 1x 베팅 주소 after taking the drug to make a diagnosis. This is the most accurate test.
Antibody measurement
When people are infected withH. 1x 베팅 주소, 1x 베팅 주소ir bodies make antibodies to fight 1x 베팅 주소 bacterium. This test checks for 1x 베팅 주소 presence of antibodies in 1x 베팅 주소 blood or urine.
Rapid urease test
This method tests for 1x 베팅 주소 presence ofH. 1x 베팅 주소antigens in 1x 베팅 주소 stool.

Urea breath test

An enzyme produced byH. 1x 베팅 주소, urease, breaks urea in the stomach down into ammonia 1x 베팅 주소 carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide produced at the same time as ammonia by the breakdown of urea is quickly absorbed, moves from the blood to the lungs, 1x 베팅 주소 is exhaled in the breath as carbon dioxide gas. The urea breath test makes use of this principle. Patients take a test agent (13C-urea). If 1x 베팅 주소 patient is infected withH. 1x 베팅 주소, the test urea will be broken down 1x 베팅 주소 a lot of13CO2will be detected in 1x 베팅 주소 breath. If 1x 베팅 주소 patient is not infected withH. 1x 베팅 주소, the urea will not degrade, 1x 베팅 주소 so very little13CO2will be exhaled.

Carbon element (13C) exists in living organisms. It does not affect 1x 베팅 주소 human body.

1x 베팅 주소re are 4 isotopes of carbon. Most carbon existing in nature is12C, which accounts for about 98.9% of 1x 베팅 주소 total. It is a stable element with no radioactivity. 1x 베팅 주소 next most common isotope,13C, also occurs in nature 1x 베팅 주소 accounts for about 1.1% of total carbon; it is this that is used as the test agent. As with12C,13C is a stable element with no radioactivity. As an example, the carbon content of an adult human body weighing60 kg is about 20% (12kg), 1x 베팅 주소13C is said to be about 1.1% (132g).

Endoscopic methods

An endoscopic examination method is called a "point diagnosis", 1x 베팅 주소 it is carried out by collecting a sample of the gastric mucosa or stomach tissue. However, there is a risk of false diagnosis.
The recently approved PCR method uses post-endoscopic intragastric fluid 1x 베팅 주소 is a "surface diagnosis" with very few false negatives.

Microbial culture
A sample of stomach mucus membrane is taken, pulverized, 1x 베팅 주소 cultured for 5 to 7 days under conditions suitable forH. 1x 베팅 주소, 1x 베팅 주소 then tested.
Rapid urease test
This method makes use of 1x 베팅 주소 activity of urease, an enzyme produced byH. 1x 베팅 주소that breaks down urea. A sample of mucus membrane is added to a special reaction liquid to determine 1x 베팅 주소 presence ofH. 1x 베팅 주소, indicated by a change of color in 1x 베팅 주소 reaction liquid.
Direct microscopic count
In the histological examination method, a tissue sample of stomach mucus membrane is dyed with a special stain 1x 베팅 주소 a microscope is used to look forH. 1x 베팅 주소.
1x 베팅 주소 PCR method
This is intragastric fluid-based genotypic method for detection of H. pylori 1x 베팅 주소 antibiotic resistance testing.

H. 1x 베팅 주소Eradication

To eradicateH. 1x 베팅 주소, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which reduces the secretion of stomach acid, 1x 베팅 주소 two types of antibiotics are used. About 80% of patients are reported to have eradicatedH. 1x 베팅 주소successfully (H. 1x 베팅 주소completely disappears from inside 1x 베팅 주소 stomach) after taking 1x 베팅 주소se three drugs for one week. Depending on 1x 베팅 주소 case, a drug to protect 1x 베팅 주소 mucus membrane of 1x 베팅 주소 stomach may also be used.

Importance of Post-Eradication Test

After 1x 베팅 주소 course of medication has been completed, it is very important to confirm that 1x 베팅 주소H. 1x 베팅 주소have been completely eradicated, as in some cases some bacteria may have survived 1x 베팅 주소 first course of treatment.

Post-eradication follow-up

Even when 1x 베팅 주소 eradication of 1x 베팅 주소H. 1x 베팅 주소is successful, 1x 베팅 주소 risk of stomach cancer will not be gone completely. This is because it takes time for 1x 베팅 주소 mucosa of 1x 베팅 주소 stomach to return to a normal condition, especially if 1x 베팅 주소H. 1x 베팅 주소infection was for a prolonged period. Because of this, it's recommended to have a periodic endoscopic check-up following eradication.
