Helicobacter Pylori Antibodies (H. Pylori)

Why Take This Test? The Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) Antibodies test detects the presence of antibodies (IgG, IgA, or IgM) to H. Pylori, a bacterium associated with infections in the stomach lining. This test helps diagnose an active or past infection, which can lead to conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, or even stomach cancer if left untreated. H. Pylori infection is a common cause of chronic stomach pain and discomfort, and testing for antibodies provides a non-invasive way to confirm the presence of this bacterium.
