Helicobacter pylori insufflation test is one of the commonly used methods for detecting H. pylori infection in clinical practice. In a blow-off test, the patient is required to take a marker containing carbon-13 or carbon-14 and then a breath test to detect the presence of H. pylori.
In the test results, it is usually indicated as "type one" or "type two", so what do these types mean?Let's explain it in detail.
Helicobacter pylori type 1 infection is usually associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and other diseases, and its infection rate is high and contagious.
Helicobacter pylori type 2 infection is associated with gastric cancer, gastric lymphoma and other diseases, and its infection rate is relatively low, but it is highly contagious.
Therefore, through the Helicobacter pylori insufflation test, we can preliminarily determine whether the patient has Helicobacter pylori infection and the type of infection, so as to provide a basis for subsequent **.
So, how do you tell the results of type 1 and type 2 of the Helicobacter pylori insufflation test?They will be explained below:
Helicobacter pylori type 1 infection:
1.Carbon-13 markers detected outside the normal range (typically 4 dpm) suggest H. pylori type 1 infection.
2.A positive test result with a high value indicates a high likelihood of type 1 infection.
3.If the patient has a history of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, or a family history of gastric cancer, the suspicion of type 1 infection should be high.
Helicobacter pylori type 2 infection:
1.Carbon-14 markers detected outside the normal range (typically 100 dpm) suggest H. pylori type 2 infection.
2.A positive test result with a high value indicates a high likelihood of type 2 infection.
3.If the patient has a history of gastric cancer, gastric lymphoma, or a family history of gastric cancer, the suspicion of type 2 infection should be high.
It should be noted that the results of the Helicobacter pylori insufflation test can only be used as a preliminary judgment and cannot completely determine the type of infection. For patients with suspected serious disease, further relevant tests such as gastroscopy and tissue biopsy are recommended for a more accurate diagnosis and**. At the same time, patients should maintain a good lifestyle and diet when undergoing examinations and ** to increase ** rate and prevention**.
In summary, the results of type 1 and type 2 of the H. pylori insufflation test are judged based on the detection value of the carbon-13 or carbon-14 marker. For patients suspected of suffering from chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, gastric lymphoma and other diseases, it is recommended to have regular Helicobacter pylori insufflation tests for timely detection and **.
