Summary

The accurate diagnosis of H. pylori infection is an important step for establishing the strategy for gastric cancer prevention. During endoscopy, rapid urease test (RUT) is the first of biopsy-based H. pylori tests. Despite indirect test for H. pylori detection, RUT shows rapid result with good sensitivity and specificity. Several study reported that H. pylori density was related to positive reaction time of RUT. However, there was no study comparing the positive reaction times of RUT according to biopsy site, degree of gastric atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia.
