Frequently Asked Questions

How should the child prepare for the procedure?

The child should be fasting (no food for 6–8 hours). It is essential to consult a doctor before the procedure and inform them about any allergies or chronic conditions. The examination can only be performed when accompanied by a parent.

 

How is the procedure performed?

First, the child exhales into a special bag to record the baseline measurement. The child is then given a urea solution to drink, and after 20–30 minutes, another breath sample is collected. The laboratory compares the results to determine whether Helicobacter pylori is present in the body.

 

Is the test harmful to children?

What is the solution given to the child?

It is a special urea solution that is safe for children and has a mild, neutral or slightly sweet taste.
