An evaluation of near-patient testing for Helicobacter pylori in general practice.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In a previous study, the use of a citric acid test meal produced a rapid dose-dependent increase in urease activity that was significantly greater than that resulting from a pudding meal, ascorbic acid or sodium citrate. The mechanism was hypothesized to be related to the ability of citric acid to delay gast...
