Abstract

Background: The urea breath test (UBT) has been published as the most sensitive and specific non-invasive test to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The limitation of UBT is the need of expensive equipment that is not always widely available. Recently, UBT has already been available in Surabaya. In the other hand, our experience using rapid urease test which detected urease enzyme produced by H. pylori as UBT showed low sensitivity. Objective: To investigate the validation of UBT for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection in patient with dyspepsia. Design: Cross-sectional study. Method: Sixty patients who complained symptoms of dyspepsia were examined for H. pylori infection using UBT. Gastroscopy and biopsy was were performed and the biopsy specimens were examined by Pathologist. Results: Sixty patients consist of 28 male and 32 female were enrolled of this study. Eight patients had H. pylori positive by both UBT and histologic examination. One patient was H. pylori positive by UBT but negative by histologic examination. One patient was H. pylori negative by UBT but positive by histologic examination. The sensitivity of UBT was 88.9% and the specificity was 98 %. The negative predictive value was 98%. Conclusion: In this study, UBT has lower sensitivity (88.9%) and comparable specificity (98%) for diagnosing H. pylori infection. Comprehensive studies to determine the doses of 13C-urea, test meal and appropriate collection time, which is more suitable for local population was suggested.

Abstract

Wilson’s disease is a disease that results from a genetic disorder that causes copper accumulation. Wilson’s disease has presented challenges for physicians during the last century, but it can be diagnosed and treated over time. Diagnosing Wilson’s disease is challenging for doctors because of its wide range of clinical manifestations and complexity. Studies that can help diagnose Wilson’s disease include a 24-hour copper urine examination and neurological tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, and liver function tests. There is also a scoring system to help medical personnel diagnose this disease. Correct diagnosis and adequate therapy can be provided, such as penicillamine, trientine, zinc, and, most rarely, liver transplantation. It is also necessary to monitor the side effects of treatment and its effectiveness of treatment. When receiving therapy, Wilson’s disease has a better prognosis than if it is not treated.
