HELICOBACTER PYLORI – IGG

The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) IgG test detects IgG antibodies against H. pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach lining and can cause peptic ulcers and gastritis. A positive H. pylori IgG test indicates a past or current infection and long-term immunity. This test is used to diagnose and monitor H. pylori infections, guide treatment decisions, and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. It provides important information for managing gastrointestinal health, preventing complications associated with H. pylori infection, and ensuring appropriate medical intervention.
