18
Q

Aspirating a sample of gastric fluid by means of a tube passed through the mouth and throat (oropharynx) or nose and throat (nasopharynx)

A

22
Q

Collected for trace an heavy metal analysis and the detection of drugs of abuse

Q

Collected and analyzed for hydrogen content in one type of lactose tolerance tests and to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)

24
Q

This test is based on the fact that H. pylori produces urease, an enzyme that breaks down urea but is not normally present in the stomach

A

C-UREA BREATH TEST (C-UBT)

25
Helps identify problems with the digestion of carbohydrates such as lactose (milk sugar) and fructose (fruit sugar) and is thought to be the most accurate lactose tolerance test
HYDROGEN BREATH TEST
