Patient's question:
C14 Helicobacter pylori 9.70 is normal, severe, or not considered very high?Doctor's answer:
The reference value for the 14C breath test is approximately 40, with some reference values being 100. If the result is below these values, it is considered negative. Therefore, your 9.70 is negative, indicating no Helicobacter pylori infection. So, it is normal. Helicobacter pylori infection can be very serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, and spicy foods should be avoided.
