Shop - Helicobacter Pylori IgA/IgG

The Helicobacter pylori IgA/IgG test is a blood test that detects specific antibodies (IgA and IgG) against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium associated with peptic ulcers and gastritis. Presence of IgG antibodies suggests past or current infection, while IgA antibodies may indicate a more recent or active infection. This test is used as part of diagnosing H. pylori infections, which can lead to stomach inflammation, ulcers, and, in some cases, gastric cancer. Though useful, this antibody test cannot differentiate between past and current infections, so additional testing (such as stool antigen or urea breath tests) is often recommended for confirmation.
