Abstract
A preparation for administering isotope-labelled urea together with acid in a solid form that is influenced by activity of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach only, avoiding any non-Helicobacter (unspecific) urease activity in the oral cavity and the pharynx. The preparation dissolves very quickly in the stomach. The preparation is used to show increased urease activity in the stomach in association with an ongoing Helicobacter pylori infection.
