13C-urea is a stable isotope-labeled form of urea used primarily as a diagnostic agent in the 13C-urea breath test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection. It is not used as a therapeutic agent and is approved for diagnostic use in many countries.
Pharmacokinetics estimated for healthy adults undergoing the 13C-urea breath test. No specific PK publication found; the parameters are based on general urea kinetics and clinical use of the test.
