About this test
A positive antibody test cannot distinguish a current infection from one cleared years ago, and it should not be used to check whether treatment worked. For that question the stool antigen or breath test is the right one.
What it measures
- H. pylori IgG
- H. pylori IgA
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
