HELICOBACTER PYLORI IGG ANTIBODY

The HELICOBACTER PYLORI IGG ANTIBODY test detects IgG antibodies against Helicobacter pylori in a blood sample, indicating prior exposure or immune response to the bacterium. The assay is performed on a venous blood specimen using validated immunoassay methods to provide qualitative or quantitative antibody results, which can help identify patients who have been infected with H. pylori.

This at‑home lab service includes professional sample collection in Dubai and rapid laboratory analysis, making it convenient for residents who wish to screen for past or possible ongoing infection. A positive IgG result suggests exposure and should be followed by clinical assessment and, if active infection is suspected, confirmatory testing (urea breath test or stool antigen) and gastroenterology consultation for treatment decisions.
