HELICOBACTER PYLORI – IgA

The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) IgA test detects IgA antibodies against H. pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach lining and can cause peptic ulcers and gastritis. A positive H. pylori IgA test indicates a current or recent infection. 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 and preventing complications associated with H. pylori infection, such as ulcers and stomach cancer.
