Genetic Testing for Helicobacter pylori Treatment
DESCRIPTION Helicobacter pylori infection of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is treated with a combination of antibiotics and proton-pump inhibitors (PPI). Genetic factors may influence the success of H pylori treatment through effects on PPI metabolism. Individuals with polymorphisms in the CYP2C19 gene metabolize PPIs more rapidly than normal and may have a reduced therapeutic effect. Therefo...
متن کاملIs repeat testing needed for Helicobacter pylori?
Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of gastritis and gastric and duodenal ulcer disease, and it increases the risk of gastric cancer. Diagnosis and treatment of H pylori infection has become an essential part of the evaluation of patients with dyspepsia and other upper abdominal symptoms. Until recently, diagnosis was made primarily by endoscopic biopsy, and treatment was initiated primarily b...

متن کاملTesting for Helicobacter pylori in primary care: trouble in store?
STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the role of testing for Helicobacter pylori in the management of dyspeptic patients in primary care. DESIGN Selective review of literature frequently quoted to support use of H pylori testing.

متن کاملmicroRNA profiling in duodenal ulcer disease caused by Helicobacter pylori infection in a Western population.
Although the connection of microRNAs (miRNAs) to some diseases is well established, their involvement in chronic infections such as Helicobacter pylori has received less attention. The aim was to compare miRNA expression profiling in patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) due to H. pylori infection with that in infected patients without DU and in uninfected patients. The miRNA expression profile was...
