H.pylori is a bacterium that can colonize in the stomach lining and is associated with various gastrointestinal conditions, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer.
By detecting IgM antibodies, this test helps doctors diagnose current H. pylori infection as these are the first antibodies to appear as an immediate response to an infection and typically become undetectable after some time. Therefore, the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood signals an active/ongoing H. pylori infection.
The test results can help individuals and doctors understand the risk of H.pylori-related conditions, such as peptic ulcers or gastric cancer, and guide treatment decisions if infection is detected. This test also helps monitor treatment response over time and allows infected individuals to take proactive steps in managing their gastrointestinal health and reducing the risk of complications.
