1
50-75 ml of an aqueous solution of ¹³C-urea is taken orally
2
Entering the stomach, ¹³C-urea is hydrated with the formation of ¹³C-carbon dioxide and ammonia with the participation of the enzyme of the urease of Helicobacter Pylori.
3
¹³C-carbon dioxide from the stomach is absorbed into the bloodstream
4
¹³C-carbon dioxide with inhaled air is excreted from the body through the lungs
