Order H. Pylori IgG Testing | Helicobacter PyloriH. pylori IgG testing is a blood-based immunoassay that detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that can colonize the stomach lining. The test does not detect the bacterium itself; it detects the host's humoral response, which is why results require careful interpretation alongside symptoms and other clinical findings.
About H. Pylori IgG Testing | Helicobacter Pylori in Addison
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections in humans, and its presence is strongly associated with chronic type B gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.
The IgG antibody response typically appears within weeks of initial infection and can remain detectable for months or years, even after the organism has been eradicated. Because of this persistence, a positive IgG result cannot by itself distinguish an active infection from a past exposure.
Clinicians often use H. pylori IgG testing as an initial screening tool, particularly when endoscopic procedures are not immediately indicated. When a positive result is found, it is frequently followed by a stool antigen test or urea breath test to confirm active infection before treatment decisions are made.
The test is performed on a blood sample, and results are reported as either positive or negative based on established cutoff values. Interpretation should always account for the patient's clinical history, medication use, and the pretest probability of infection.
