Helicobacter Pylori Bacterial Load Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Helicobacter Pylori Bacterial Load Test to diagnose and determine the severity of H. pylori infection. This test is essential for individuals experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting.
Test Details
The Helicobacter pylori bacterial load test is a diagnostic test used to determine the amount of H. pylori bacteria present in a person’s stomach. H. pylori is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach lining and is a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastritis.
The test is usually performed by collecting a sample of the stomach lining or gastric fluid through an endoscopy procedure. The collected sample is then sent to our laboratory, where it is analyzed using Real Time PCR method to detect the presence of H. pylori DNA or specific antigens produced by the bacteria.
The bacterial load test provides valuable information about the quantity of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach, which helps in determining the severity of the infection and guiding treatment decisions. A high bacterial load indicates a more severe infection that may require more aggressive treatment, while a low bacterial load may indicate a less severe infection.

The test is commonly used to confirm the presence of H. pylori infection in individuals with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. It is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and to check for eradication of the bacteria after treatment. It is important to note that the bacterial load test is just one of several tests used to diagnose H. pylori infection.
