H.Pylori IgM Antibody

Description

The H. Pylori IgM Antibody test detects Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the blood. IgM antibodies are typically the first to appear in response to an infection, making this test particularly useful for identifying recent or acute H. pylori infections. It can help in the early diagnosis of H. pylori-related conditions such as gastritis or peptic ulcers. The presence of IgM antibodies suggests an active, ongoing infection, which can guide prompt treatment decisions and prevent complications associated with chronic H. pylori infection.
