Test Details:
The Helicobacter pylori antibodies panel IgA & IgG test is a blood test used to detect the presence of antibodies against the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. H. pylori is a common bacteria that infects the stomach and can cause various gastrointestinal disorders, such as peptic ulcers and gastritis. The test measures the levels of IgA and IgG antibodies in the blood. IgA antibodies are primarily found in the mucous membranes, including the digestive tract, while IgG antibodies are found throughout the body and provide long-term immunity.
Elevated levels of IgA and/or IgG antibodies indicate a current or past infection with H. pylori. However, it is important to note that a positive test result does not necessarily indicate an active infection, as antibodies can persist in the blood even after the bacteria has been eradicated.
The test is typically ordered if a person is experiencing symptoms of a gastrointestinal disorder, such as persistent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for H. pylori infection.
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret the results of the test accurately and determine the appropriate course of action.
