open-in-new
<p>Rapid urease test, also known as the CLO test (Campylobacter-like organism test), is a <a href="/facts/Rapid_diagnostic_test/F0449jNV">rapid diagnostic test</a> for diagnosis of <i><a href="/facts/Helicobacter_pylori/9q4H68LP">Helicobacter pylori</a></i>. The basis of the test is the ability of <i>H. pylori</i> to secrete the <a href="/facts/Urease/qh6XKw4w">urease</a> enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of <a href="/facts/Urea/6j84AoCG">urea</a> to <a href="/facts/Ammonia/MtLtJFtz">ammonia</a> and <a href="/facts/Carbon_dioxide/xGzpppEp">carbon dioxide</a>. </p>
