Helicobacter Pylori IgG Tests: Detailed Description
The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) IgG test is a blood-based diagnostic tool designed to detect IgG antibodies against the H. pylori bacterium, which is commonly associated with gastrointestinal conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, and an increased risk of stomach cancer. This test serves as a non-invasive method to determine if an individual has been exposed to H. pylori, either currently or in the past.
Key Features:
- Sample Collection: Requires a 3 ml blood sample.
- No Special Preparation: Patients do not need to fast or make any special preparations before the test.
- Turnaround Time: Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the laboratory’s location.
- Accredited Laboratories: Testing is conducted in CAP, NABL, and ISO-certified labs, ensuring high-quality standards.
- Cost: The test is offered at a discounted price of ₹1,099, down from the original ₹2,200.
Clinical Utility:
The presence of IgG antibodies indicates exposure to H. pylori but does not differentiate between active and past infections. Therefore, while the IgG test is useful for initial screening, it is not recommended for confirming eradication post-treatment. For monitoring treatment success, other tests like the urea breath test or stool antigen test are more appropriate.
Advantages:
- Non-Invasive: Being a blood test, it avoids the discomfort associated with endoscopic procedures.
- Convenient: No need to discontinue medications like antacids or antibiotics before testing.
- Timely Results: Quick turnaround facilitates timely clinical decisions.
Other Relevant Tests:
- H. Pylori IgA
- H. Pylori IgM
- Amylase and Lipase
- Liver Function Tests
- Gastro Metabolism Panel
