Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection by invasive and noninvasive tests
Although several invasive and noninvasive tests have been developed for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection, all of the tests have their limitations. We conducted a study to investigate and compare the suitability of rapid urease test (RUT), serology, histopathology and stool antigen tests with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of H. pylori, and correlate the diagnostic m...

متن کاملEvaluation of noninvasive tests for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Hemodialysis is the most common method of renal replacement therapy for treatment of acute and chronic kidney failure. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) plays a major role in development of peptic ulcer, gastric neoplasms, and lymphoma as well as increased risk of cardiovascular disorders in hemodialysis patients. OBJECTIVES In this study the diagnostic values of noninvasive tests [i...
