13C breath tests have been widely developed in the world gastroenterology at the beginning of the 90-ies of the last century. This technique has been used for over 20 years in many developed countries and it has long been a routine and mass procedure. 13C urease breath test for infection Helicobacter pylori detection is the most widely analysis among 13C breath tests. Researchers are developing new 13C-biomarkers and expand the list of available substrates. One of these techniques is a multifunctional 13C bicarbonate breath test. Here is a brief overview of this application.

(HP) infection was performed using invasive and non-invasive methods. The study group consisted of 95 patients with dyspepsia. HP infection was detected in 47 patients (49.4 %). The expediency of using a set of diagnostic methods for detecting HP (PCR, immunochromatographic, bacteriological and method for determining urease activity) is proved. Most often (100 %) in patients HP infection was detected in biopsies using the PCR method. Somewhat less frequently it was detected when examining biopsies with an invasive biochemical method (AMA RUT Reader) (82 %) and fecal immunochromatographic method (83 %). Despite the fact that helicobacteriosis was detected bacteriologically in a small number of patients (24 %), this method is of particular value, since it allows you to assess the sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs and probiotics, and does not give false positive results.
