Video Endoscopy and CLO Test (DROWSHAN)

The Video Endoscopy and CLO Test (DROWSHAN) is a diagnostic procedure that involves using a flexible tube with a camera to visually examine the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. During this test, a small biopsy may be taken and assessed using the CLO test, which detects the presence of Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria linked to ulcers and certain gastrointestinal diseases. This combined approach allows for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment options for various digestive disorders.
