The H. Pylori Screening Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic package designed to evaluate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, a bacterial infection of the stomach lining commonly associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and other gastrointestinal conditions. The package includes the H. pylori Antigen Detection Test, which identifies bacterial antigens in the stool sample. It also includes the H. pylori Urea Breath Test, which detects active infection by measuring the breakdown of urea by the bacterium. The Urea Breath test is a non-invasive breath test that identifies current (active) H pylori nfection. The test uses stable, non-radioactive carbon-13 (¹³C)-labelled urea, making it safe for adults, children, and pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it involves no exposure to ionizing radiation. The antigen detection and urea breath tests are generally preferred for identifying an active H. pylori infection. The package also includes H. pylori IgG and IgM antibody tests, which assess the body's immune response to the bacterium. Together, these tests provide insights into H. pylori exposure and infection status, helping your doctor determine the need for further evaluation or appropriate treatment based on your symptoms, medical history, and test results.
