H Pylori Stool Test

The H. pylori Stool Antigen Test detects the presence of antigens from Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a bacterium that can infect the stomach lining and contribute to gastritis, peptic ulcers, and other gastrointestinal conditions. This noninvasive test is commonly used to identify active H. pylori infection and to confirm eradication following treatment. It may be ordered for individuals experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, indigestion, or unexplained stomach discomfort. Results provide valuable information for diagnosing and managing H. pylori-related digestive disorders.
