“…The UBT has excellent sensitivity and specificity 242,243 therefore, it is considered to be the most reliable test to document H. Pylori infection. It can be used to screen for infection as well as to confirm eradication after H. Pylori treatment.…”

“…In the presence of H. pylori, the ingestion of urea, labeled with either the nonradioactive isotope 13 C or the radioactive isotope 14 C, results in production of labeled CO 2 , which can be quantitated in expired breath (87)(88)(89)(90). Although the amount of radiation in the 14 C UBT is less than daily background radiation exposure (88), the 13 C test is preferred in children and pregnant females (87).…”

Helicobacter pylori is a common chronic bacterial infection, affects at least 50% of the worldwide population, and is a cause of peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, dyspepsia, gastric adenocarcinoma, and lymphoma. 1 Helicobacter pylori infection is more common in the developing world and is most commonly acquired during childhood. 1 In 2015, the Kyoto guidelines (sponsored by the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology) incorporated the results of a global consensus meeting, a portion of which was devoted to developing guidelines regardingwhen,inwhom,andhowtotreatHpylorigastritis. 2 Theseguidelines designated H pylori as an infectious disease and advised that all patients with H pylori be treated. Eradication of H pylori was advised to arrest development of preneoplastic changes and minimize risk of later complications.ManyoftheexpertswhocontributedtotheKyotoguidelines were from Japan, a country with a high incidence of gastric cancer. The fifth iteration of the Maastricht/Florence consensus report builds onandreexaminestherecommendationsofthe2015Kyotoguidelines. 3 Characteristics of the Guideline SourceClinical Review & Education

“…Although the amount of radiation in the 14 C UBT is less than daily background radiation exposure (88), the 13 C test is preferred in children and pregnant females (87). Overall, the performance characteristics of both tests are similar with sensitivity and specificity typically exceeding 95% in most studies (87,88). Test reproducibility has been found to be excellent (89).…”
