What is the best diagnosis of h pylori?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Helicobacter: One can test noninvasively with a blood antibody test, stool antigen test, or with the carbon urea breath test. The most reliable method is a biopsy during endoscopy with a rapid urease test, histological examination, and culture. There is also a urine ELISA test with a 96% sensitivity and 79% specificity. None of the tests are completely without failure rates.
