The H. pylori Antibody, IgG test detects IgG antibodies produced in response to Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach lining. A positive IgG result indicates past exposure to H. pylori, but does not necessarily confirm an active infection.
This test is commonly used to assess prior exposure to H. pylori in individuals with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, or a history of peptic ulcer disease. Active infection is typically evaluated with stool antigen or breath testing, which may be recommended based on results and symptoms.
