Urea Breath Test (UBT)

A Urea Breath Test (UBT) is a fast, safe, and painless medical test used to detect an infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria in the stomach. These bacteria can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers, and digestive discomfort.

Why It Is Done:
The UBT is a simple, non-invasive test that measures the breakdown of urea by H. pylori. It is used to:

  • Detect Infection: Identify an active H. pylori infection.

  • Confirm Treatment: Verify whether an infection has been successfully treated and eradicated.

  • Assess Symptoms: Help diagnose the cause of chronic stomach pain, ulcers, or digestive issues.

What to Expect:
The test involves simply drinking a special solution and then breathing into a collection bag. It is completely painless and does not require any sedation or recovery time.
