What is HELICOBACTER PYLORI Ag, STOOL?

This test detects specific proteins (antigens) from Helicobacter pylori bacteria in a stool sample. It's a non-invasive way to check for an active H. pylori infection in your digestive system.

Why is this test important?

H. pylori infection can cause stomach ulcers, gastritis, and in some cases, increase the risk of stomach cancer. This test helps diagnose current infections, guide treatment decisions, and confirm eradication after therapy.

How to Prepare
