Low dose capsule based 13c-urea breath test compared with the conventional 13c-urea breath test and invasive tests.
CONTEXT One of the limitations of 13C-urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori infection diagnosis in Brazil is the substrate acquisition in capsule presentation. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate a capsule-based 13C-urea, manipulated by the Pharmacy Division, for the clinical practice.

متن کامل13C-breath tests for clinical investigation of liver mitochondrial function.
BACKGROUND Mitochondria play a major role in cell energetic metabolism; therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction inevitably participates in or even determines the onset and progression of chronic liver diseases. The assessment of mitochondrial function in vivo, by providing more insight into the pathogenesis of liver diseases, would be a helpful tool to study specific hepatic functions and to devel...
متن کاملGender affects 13C-ketoisocaproic acid breath test.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS 13C-Ketoisocaproic Acid Breath Test (13C-Kica-BT) has been proposed to assess mitochondrial function. Aim of this study is to evaluate whether gender affects mithocondrial oxidation by means of 13C-Kica-BT in healthy subjects in basal conditions and after an acute oxidative stress induced by ethanol. METHODOLOGY 50 healthy volunteers were given 1 mg/kg of 13C-Kica together...
متن کامل13C Methacetin Breath Test for Assessment of Microsomal Liver Function: Methodology and Clinical Application
Assessment of the liver function, and the need of constant monitoring of the organ's capacity, concerns not only patients with primary liver diseases, but also those at risk of hepatopathies secondary to other chronic diseases. Most commonly, the diagnostics is based on measurements of static biochemical parameters, which allow us to draw conclusions only indirectly about the function and the d...
