Interpreting Helicobacter Pylori IgG results


Interpretations

Antibody testing detects bacterial antibodies, but does not distinguish a current infection from an old one.  

  • A negative result confirms no stomach infection
  • A positive result means infection and should be confirmed by a stool antigen or breath test.
  • Levels between 0-20 units means no significant level of IgG antibody were detected
  • Levels between 20.1-24.9 units suggests repeating serological testing within 10-14 days 
  • Levels more than 25 units means you are positive for IgG antibody and suggests an active infection

Note: It may be elevated for years in infected individuals. Values may reduce after therapy but do not become undetectable.
