What is the normal value of Helicobacter pylori C14?



The normal value of H. pylori C14 breath test is usually 0-100dpm, if the test result is greater than the high value of the normal value, i.e. higher than 100dpm, then it is positive, which suggests the existence of H. pylori infection.

Helicobacter pylori is a microorganism that exists in the human stomach. Infection with Helicobacter pylori makes it easy to get gastritis, gastric ulcers and other gastric diseases, and also increases the incidence of gastric cancer. After discovering Helicobacter pylori, you should go to regular hospitals in time to receive regular treatment and regular review.

At present, it is recommended to use quadruple therapy, i.e. two antibiotics + a proton pump inhibitor + a bismuth agent, such as amoxicillin, metronidazole, omeprazole, bismuth potassium citrate capsule.

After treatment, the drug needs to be stopped for one month before review, and the C14 breath test is also an option for review. If the test result is negative after one month of treatment, it means that the treatment effect is good. If the test results do not decrease but increase, it means that the patient may have drug resistance. Meanwhile, the diet should be light and avoid spicy food and alcohol.

If Helicobacter pylori infection occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
